Rex Whistler was perhaps the most talented and original designer for the English theatre during the first half of the present century. The three volumes of The Masque which form this book fittingly commemorate his work. The text consists of three appreciations of Rex Whistler and his designs by Cecil Beaton, James Laver, and Laurence Whistler, as well as a complete list of the theatrical productions for which he made designs. In the twenty colour plates and monochrome illustrations will be found a valuable and beautiful record of many of Rex Whistler's most enchanting designs, among them those for An Ideal Husband, Love for Love, Streamline, Victoria Regina, Pride and Prejudice, The Rake's Progress, and Fidelio.
