As soon as I saw this beautiful VMC special edition I felt in love with cover design by Jacqueline Groag created in 1953.Puppet Ballet is reminiscent of early-20th century Soviet designs but also captures the spirit and optimism of design in mid-century decorative arts.(from cora ginsburg llc)

it makes me think of Russian Ballet and beautiful drawings by Léon Bakst
