Synopsis

A richly illustrated catalogue of early 20th‑century theatre design, capturing models, drawings, and photographs from a 1919 New York exhibition. This book gathers the visual work and accompanying articles from the Bourgeois Galleries collection, presenting a wide view of stage thinking and craft from that era.



Inside, you’ll find design and photo plate entries by a broad roster of designers and artists, with notes on production context and how color, light, and form shape the living stage. The volume pairs practical examples with essays that explore the evolving role of the theatre designer and the future of stage art.




  • Designs and photographs for Ruth St. Denis, King Lear, Pelléas et Mélisande, and other productions, plus model and scene studies.

  • Profiles of contributing designers such as Maxwell Armfield, Norman‑Bel Geddes, Willy Pogany, Robert Edmond Jones, and J. Blanding Sloan.

  • Sections on fashion and theatrical staging, including perspectives on color, light, and pattern in production design.

  • Contextual essays by Michael Carmichael Carr and other voices on the direction of theatre design.



Ideal for readers of theatre history, stage design, and visual arts who value period layouts, craft details, and the dialogue between designers and productions.
