(MGM, 1959) Unique art-director’s keybook of scene storyboards and set-construction blueprint miniatures, 156 pp and measuring 8 x 21”, each page laid out in the widescreen format in which the film was shot. Pages were printed by studio from the hand-drawn originals in an early reproductive process for Art Director Edward Carfagno for his Oscar-winning work on William Wyler’s Ben-Hur. Crucial historical reference to the process of art direction, especially for such an epic and respected film. Being bound without covers for use exclusively on set during production, there is needless to say some bumping and chipping to front page and several right margins; else, Fine.
