Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 67 plates. Faint staining to front free end paper and less so to the rear. It does not affect the neighbouring pages so is presumably a sort of foxing. Yellow cloth boards are sunned and smudged particularly to the spine, very good. Acquired from Maude Lloyd, an admired leading dancer with Ballet Rambert in the 1930s. With her husband, Nigel Gosling a renowned art critic, she later wrote, influential dance books and reviews under the joint pseudonym, 'Alexander Bland'. When Rudolph Nureyev defected in 1961, Margot Fonteyn asked them to befriend him which they gladly did offering him freedom of their house. Gosling edited his autobiography. Nureyev wrote an admiring memoir of him in Observer of the Dance anthologising Goslings reviews, "He and Maude were like my family.".
