Original stage set design featuring four towers with a striking geometric design of playing card motifs. Gold flag poles held by chains lean from the top, suggesting castle towers or the pageantry of a royal court. This was possibly a modernist design for a production based on Alice in Wonderland, in which Alice encounters the Queen of Hearts and her playing-card courtiers.
Condition: Generally good with the usual expected light wear, soiling, toning. Horizontal tape residue in top and bottom margins, approximately 4 x ¾ inch, and faint mat burn, can be matted out when reframed.
