Design for the cover of Impressions of the Russian Ballet Children's Tales 1919 written by Cyril W. Beaumont and decorated by Michael Sevier. The artwork is a scarlet red while the final cover, the same size as the artwork, was more maroon and to it was mounted a decorative green on white label.
This is one of the slim volumes handcoloured by Beaumont and his wife produced to coincide with the return by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes to London after the War.
