Casanova [French]

By George Barbier

Maurice Rostand's play in three acts,

Panorama Dramatique: Casanova, performed

at the Bouffes-Parisiens in 1919, compresses

in small compass the outstanding incidents

in the life of Casanova. The costume and set

designs were the work of Art Deco legend

George Barbier.

Between the end of World

War I and the late 1920s much of Barbier's

time was claimed by theatrical design,

beginning with Rostand's Casanova.

Barbier's designs were originally published in

1924 as a set of 24 pochoir colour plates, now

one of his rarest and most sought after works:

they are here reprinted for the first time.
