Original watercolor costume designs on paper and board (mostly unidentified, ca. 1890-1911), possibly for Klaw Erlanger spectacles such as Beauty and the beast, music by J.M. Glover and Frederick Solomon (1901), and Mr. Bluebeard, music by Frederick Solomon, additional music by C. Herbert Kerr (1903), as well as several designs for later productions such as the musical Betty (1916), and possibly for the Follies (ca. 1920s). There is also a costume design by Robert Crafter for the character Lola, from an unidentified production of the opera Cavalleria rusticana (1909), as well as costume designs for a Bacchanale dance for Laurent Novikoff (1911) and an Oriental dance for Mikhail Mordkin (1910). A poster design by Frew for A polar pearl by Mark E. Swan (ca. 1906) is also included. A few of the designs and sketches are black and white; there is also 1 sheet of notes containing the date 1934. Signatures on the designs include, Crow, Price (possibly), and Sid D. Zuckerman; other designers believed to be associated with these designs are William Weaver, Guary, and F. Richards Anderson.
