EMILE BERTRAND (1856-1927) CENDRILLON. 1899.
31x23 inches, 78 1/2x58 1/2 cm. Devambez, Paris.
Condition A. Framed.
Jules Massenet's adaptation of the popular fairy tale Cinderella into an opera that was "a treat for the eye as well as the ear" (Opera xxii). Certainly the poster, an Art Nouveau flourish, showing Cinderella and a flock of birds has enormous aesthetic appeal. Opera cover and pl. 35, Gold 155.
