Quarto. Original rough spun buckram binding, with painted decoration to front board, a trifle grubby and rubbed, but resolutely durable. Internally clean. A charmingly amateur home-made sequence of sketches and designs for costumes, and character studies, for what appears to be a piece of Restoration style drama entitled “Ye Old Valentine.” 16 sketches in all, in colour and plain pencil, with titles like “Thelma”, “Doreen” and “Parted but not Forever.” No script of this undoubtedly creative production remains, but if the costumes are anything to go by, in particular “Emerald” and her vivid green, leaf/insect ensemble, it would have caused quite the stir on the late 19th century nursery drama circuit. Wonderful!
