Hardcover. Zustand: Good. The book "The Russian Ballet 1921-1929" by W.A. Propert is a historical account of the Ballets Russes during the period from 1921 to 1929. It serves as a companion volume to the author's earlier work, ""The Russian Ballet In Western Europe, 1909-1920,"" and provides a detailed history of the company during its later years. The book includes a complete list of ballets performed by the Ballets Russes from 1909 to 1929, along with 48 photographic plates that capture scenes from various ballets, including a frontispiece portrait of Serge Diaghilev. The Ballets Russes, founded by Sergei Diaghilev, was an influential ballet company that performed between 1909 and 1929 throughout Europe and on tours to North and South America. The company never performed in Russia, where the Revolution disrupted society, and after its initial Paris season, it had no formal ties there. Diaghilev's Ballets Russes is widely regarded as the most influential ballet company of the 20th century, promoting groundbreaking artistic collaborations among young choreographers, composers, designers, and dancers. This book is in good condition with just a few brown spots on a few of the pages, the cover is slightly worn, but for its age, it is in very good condition.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. First American Edition (NAP; Greenberg= NAP). 'In memory of Sergei Pavlovitch Diaghileff and in fulfillment of a promise made to him in 1929 this brief record of an uncompleted decade has been written.' You can see the covers in the photos. There is one light spot off the bottom edge of the front cover, also a thin white line off the middle edge of the front cover. There's a little color fading off the top edges of the front and rear, adjacent to the spine. The gilt lettering on the front is nicely bright, on the spine it has lost a little bit of its luster but still looks fine. There is a wrinkle off the top edge of the spine. The bottom edge of the spine has a pinprick-sized tear. The cover edges are in very good shape, the rear bottom one has one little dent. The corners are in solid shape as well, the rear bottom one has one tiny spot of rub-through. The top page edge looks as if it may have once had a dark topstain. It has somewhat faded now. The middle and bottom page edges are deckled or rough-cut. They did a good job. The book is square and the spine is straight. The binding is solid throughout. There is a blending strip of reinforcing tape at the juncture between the blank verso of the half-title page and the blank verso of the frontispiece. Most of the junctures between the pages in the large section of illustrations at the rear of the book have the same blending reinforcement strip. The pages are quite heavy. I saw two instances of a thin space between facing pages in the section of illustrations. In both instances the pages are tightly bound from top to bottom. Both covers are solidly bound. The pages are exceptionally clean. I saw only one instance of a small spot at the margin of two facing pages. Three of the illustration pages have some toning off their bottom edges, not close to the illustrations which are all in very nice condition. I checked to make sure that all of the illustrations are present. They are. There are four illustrations in the first section, the frontispiece photograph of Serge Diaghileff, a drawing of Serge Prokofieff by Natalia Gontcharova, a reproduction of Serge Lifar from a painting by P. Tchelitchev, and a reproduction of two costume designs also by Tchelitchev titled Ode. After page 103 the fifth Plate begins a section of Plates that ends at Plate XLVIII which is a photograph titled Njinsky Revisits The Ballet (June, 1929). In the picture: Njinsky, Grigorieff, Diaghileff, Benois, and Karsavina are identified. Besides being very clean, the pages are in excellent condition. I didn't see any creasing. There is one little minor crinkle at the white margin off the top edge of some of the pages in the final section. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. Off the top edge of the blank front end paper is penned 'Thomas J. F. Kelly, Ithaca College Phi mu Alpha' and off the bottom edge of the same page he has also written 'April 25th 1933.' There's no other writing to be found anywhere in the book.
