Original drawings, mostly color, of designs and sketches for period and early Twentieth century costumes. Theatre and dance works include the dance Perseus by Keith Lester (Arts Theatre Club, London, 1940), designs by Pamela Boden; Madame Pompadour by Leo Fall, costume designs by Attilio Comelli (possibly Daly's Theatre, 1923); The land of birds (ballet) music by Manuel Klein, costume design by Alfredo Edel (Hippodrome Theatre, 1908); and costume design by Cora MacGeachy for Hattie Williams in an unidentified production of The girl from Kay's by Ivan Caryll (1906); many productions and artists are unidentified. Other artists represented include A. Brooks, Babette DuGuary, Ada B. Field, Joyce Green, R. Hunter, Simon Lissim, Robert McQuinn, Etheldra Martin, William Henry Mathews, Jeannette Sandak, Margaret Sears, Colton Waugh, and William Weaver. Many of the designs are uncredited; a number appear to be museum research.
