Wraps. Condición: Very Good. First edition. A souvenir of a performance, and appreciation more generally, of Handel's "Acis and Galatea". 4to. 27.5 by 17.5 cm. Unpaginated, 15 pp. (text only on rectos) plus 19 plates, some with tinting. Foreward on the Prucell Operatic Society by J. A. Fuller Maitland, and on the background and history of the oratorio of "Acis and Galatea", by W. Barclay Squire. Finally, a description of the "Masque of Love", by Christopher St. John. This booklet was created clearly to be more than just an ephemeral souvenir, with its fine paper stock, its numerous plates and its aesthetic values more generally. Wraps are worn, with 2 cm chip at spine base, a small loss at spine head, and also tiny losses in corners and along edges. Clean generally within, and still an attractive copy.

Original o primera edición
Paperback. Small 4to. Stiff brown wrappers with black lettering and decoration, brown cloth tape spine. Unpaginated (ca. 75pp). Illustrations (some color, one tipped in). Very good. Yapped edges rather chipped as usual. A tight and nice first edition of this elaborate program which is much more than a program. J.A. Fuller Maitland introduces this elaborate production of Handel's pastoral opera "Acis and Galatea" and Henry Purcell's "Masque of Love." Shaw served as musical director and Craig (son of actress Ellen Terry) as stage director. Tipped to the front flyleaf is a heavy stock 11" X 8½" handbill announcing these two productions, listing cast, show times, etc., between March 15-22, 1902. A scarce booklet with even scarcer handbill.

Softcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: No Dust Jacket. Illustrated by Gordon Craig Ilustrador. 8vo 8" - 9" tall; Beautiful condition except for paper covers which are missing one corner and taped at spine. Pages are very good. This from the library of a family member Elena Gordon Craig whose name is inscribed on the front blank page. 19 plates by Edward Gordon Craig, one tipped-in on brown paper. First edition, first impression of this souvenir booklet which accompanied Gordon Craig's second entrance into theatre design, the 1902 Purcell Operatic Society production of Acis and Galatea. Craig, who was the son of the great actress Ellen Terry, grew up in the theatre and acted from the time he was a child. In the1890s he became friends with the artists James Pryde and William Nicholson who suggested he that he take up wood engraving. This spontaneous, affectionate approach to creativity was an aspect of his character that articulated his entire life, embracing also the tone of his writing and his theatre design" (ODNB). Though he had retired from acting in 1897, Craig still longed for the stage, and was able to combine his theatrical and artistic passions by working as a theatre designer. "His first production, Dido and Aeneas (1900) for the Purcell Society at the Hampstead Conservatoire, was revolutionary This production was followed by Handel's Acis and Galatea (1902) at the Great Queen Street Theatre, described by Granville Barker as 'an ever-shifting maze of colour, form, and motion'. Haldane McFall was supposed to have commented that the colors were good enough to eat. This copy includes 19 plates of theatre and costume designs by Gordon Craig from the beginning of his legendary career as a theatre designer.
