Dali traveled to Port Lligat in 1948 to begin work on the costumes and set designs for this play, as well as a play by Richard Strauss. The 8 color plates in this are in VG condition, one having a tiny crease in one corner, and the first having come loose from it's mounting. Dali also did the designs for the front and rear covers, as well as numerous vignettes for the text pages. Overall a tight fresh copy of a very rare item.
