Cecil Beaton's Fair Lady - Cecil Beaton - 1st US edition, 1964
About the Item
Published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1st US edition, New York, Chicago and San Francisco, 1964. Hardback English text.
This rare and beautiful book charts the journey of the film My Fair Lady’s creation under Cecil Beaton’s ingenious artistic direction on costume and set design. In these wittily entertaining pages, Beaton’s brilliant pen recorded the pain and delights, complications and satisfactions of making a movie the scale commissioned by the Warner Brothers’ Studio. Through Beaton’s intimate lens, the hidden world of the magical backstage unfolds itself in front of us. Beaton took great pains and pored over each minute detail, many of the costumes and stagings would later be imprinted in the collective memories of the golden Hollywood cinema.
Dimensions: 14.5 x 21.5 x 1.5 cm
