Bakst's exotic and sumptuous costume and set designs, in conjunction with Diaghilev's radical and provocative choreography, helped revitalize ballet and lay the framework for modern interpretive dance.

Original wrappers, spine and upper side printed in gilt, original slipcase (lightly rubbed, creasing and minor fraying to spine, splitting to block at half-title, slipcase somewhat faded and stained). Provenance: René Goutchot (inscription on endpaper: 'á Monsieur René Goutchot, amateur de beaux livres, tres amical et respectueux hommage de l'editeur. Jacques de Brunhoff, 31 Decembre 1930').
