Lepape's designs for the sets and costumes of Rip's ballet-pantomime "Le Coup Manqué" and Marcel L'Herbier's play "L'Enfantement du Mort". The colors, applied with pochoir by the master Jean Saudé are brilliant, and the plates very clean. A lovely copy of this rare showcase of Lepape's seminal role in modern stage design.
