Hard back binding recased in navy buckram covers, blocked and lettered gilt back and front. Quarto. 9½'' x 7¼''. Robert Edmond Jones is credited with incorporating the new stagecraft into the American drama. His designs sought to integrate the scenic elements into the storytelling instead of having them stand separate and indifferent from the play's action. His visual style, often referred to as simplified realism, combined bold vivid use of colour and simple, yet dramatic, lighting which this volume illustrates. Contains tissue-guarded colour frontispiece, (xvi), 233 pp with single-sided full-page colour and monochrome illustrations throughout. New cream laid end papers with light soiling to the edges and in Very Good condition. Member of the P.B.F.A. STAGE & THEATRE.

No Binding. Condición: Very Good. In Egyptian Hieroglyphs and English. This is a card, printed in the letterpress method used in centuries past, with the lettering embossed into the paper, which in this case is thick and of very high quality. This card's dimensions are 139 x 96 mm. (5.5 x 3.75 inches). In acid-free Mylar envelope. Gardiner is listed here as "Dr." not as "Sir", so he very likely composed this little gem prior to 1948 when he was knighted. This item is not listed in WorldCat. and The British Library, the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum do not posses a copy. Sir Alan Henderson Gardiner (29 March 1879 Eltham, then in Kent, England - 19 December 1963 Iffley, near Oxford, England) was an Egyptologist, linguist, philologist, and independent scholar. He is regarded as one of the premier Egyptologists of the early and mid-20th century. His mother died in his infancy and he and his elder brother, the composer H. Balfour Gardiner, were brought up by their father's housekeeper. Gardiner was educated at Temple Grove School and Charterhouse. At school he developed an interest in ancient Egypt, and in 1895-1896 he studied under the French archaeologist Gaston Maspero in Paris. He then went to Queen's College, Oxford with a scholarship, gaining a first in Hebrew and Arabic in 1901. He was later a student of the prominent Egyptologist Kurt Heinrich Sethe in Berlin. In 1901, after graduating, he married Hedwig von Rosen in Vienna. They had two sons and a daughter, including the rural revivalist campaigner Rolf Gardiner, and Margaret Gardiner, a patron of the arts. In 1902 Gardiner moved to Berlin, to help gather material for Adolf Erman's projected Egyptian dictionary, serving as a sub-editor from 1906 to 1908. From 1909 he spent two seasons assisting Arthur Weigall in surveying private tombs in the Thebes area. Returning to England, from 1912 to 1914 he was reader in Egyptology at Manchester University. He otherwise avoided formal academic posts and followed his own academic interests, family wealth enabling him to be financially independent. Returning to Egypt in 1915, while working on inscriptions at Serabit el-Khadim in the Sinai Peninsula, he identified an unknown hieroglyphic script as the earliest known Semitic alphabet, probably the ancestor of all later Semitic and European ones. After Howard Carter discovered the near-intact tomb of Tutankhamun in November 1922, Gardiner provided advice and support. This included helping to decipher inscriptions and seal impressions found in the tomb, and advising on Lord Carnarvon's exclusive contract with The Times, and during the 1924-1925 legal dispute with the Egyptian Department of Antiquities on access to the partly excavated tomb. Gardiner continued to research and publish books and articles until the early 1960s. His influence on Egyptology extended far beyond his publications. Although he held no important academic post, he was universally respected as a senior member of the academic community, and was often consulted on academic appointments. He was a prominent figure in the Egypt Exploration Fund and served as honorary secretary for 1917 to 1920, and later served as its president. Gardiner moved to Iffley in 1947. Gardiner's publications include a 1959 book on his study of "The Royal Canon of Turin" and his 1961 work Egypt of the Pharaohs, which covered all aspects of Egyptian chronology and history at the time of publication. His works related mainly to ancient languages, with his major contributions to ancient Egyptian philology including three editions of Egyptian Grammar and its correlated list of all the Middle Egyptian hieroglyphs in Gardiner's Sign List. Publishing Egyptian Grammar produced one of the few available hieroglyphic printing fonts. In 1914 he helped establish the Egypt Exploration Fund's Journal of Egyptian Archeology which he edited intermittently between 1916 and 1946.
