    Description

    On auction, we have the original souvenir album from "The Sleeping Beauty And The Beast" and "Adapted from the stories of The Sleeping Beauty and Beauty And The Beast by Malcolm Douglas Suggested by Klaw and Erlanger's production of the Great Drury Lane Spectacle as originally produced by Mr. Arthur Collin; managing director of Theatre Royal, Drury Lane". This was published by Towers & Co, copyright 1801 by Towers & Curran, as printed on the title page. This is 16 pages of Art Nouveau designs and photographs of the performance. The covers are thin cardboard with a cotton ribbon binding. The booklet measures 7 3/4" X 10 1/2". It has a blurred stamp on the front and "Dupl. NYPL" on the back.
    Again, this is an original, not a re-print.
    This is in excellent condition, especially for its age. The printing is bold, bright, clean and clear. The cover has some wear with a wrinkle along the left edge where it is tied together. I see no foxing, spots tears or signs of long storage. I am not an expert,

    This is from my friend who is moving to a much smaller home and parting with some of his treasures.
    I will be happy to answer any questions and, of course, combine your shipping.
