The book is in very good condition for its age (we estimate it was published soon after the original publication). The red cloth cover, with black inset border and title, has significant shelf wear at top and bottom spine edges and front top corner. Age toning on endpapers and the page photo from the movie is lose. There is a smudge at the edge of pages 201 and 205. There are no tears, marks or foxing on the pages

Description:
State First American edition. Book and unclipped dj are in excellent condition. Other than an inscription on the first fly-leaf page, we could not find any faults in the book. Unclipped dj has only very minor shelf wear. Full color and b&w photos throughout. From the dj: " Antoine Watteau was born in 1684 and died aged 37. He inspired the Rococo school of painting which became popular during the eighteenth century in France. This volume features the realism of his portrayals of life and fashion in the Court of Louis XIV and the romantic idealism of his rustic 'Fetes Galantes."

Description:
Rare first edition, published September, 1905. In excellent condition. It would get a Fine rating except for light shelf wear on covers and shadowing on the inside covers and adjacent end papers. Pages are clear, clean, without marks, tears of foxing. Includes seven photos of relevant individuals, including Wagner. The book seems to be as much about Wagner as this particular opera. From Wikipedia (abridfed): " Gustav Kobbé (March 4, 1857[1] – July 27, 1918)[2] was an American music critic and author, best known for his guide to the operas.He made his career in literary and newspaper work, and contributed articles on musical and dramatic subjects to the leading magazines and periodicals. He became music critic of the New York Herald when that newspaper was owned by James Gordon Bennett, remaining with it for eighteen years".
