[Debussy, Claude. (1862–1918) & Nijinsky, Waslaw. (1889–1950)]. L'Apres-Midi d'un Faune - Special Issue of the Comoedia Illustré. A special issue of the Parisian stage, theatre, and ballet monthly, dedicated to the Ballets Russes' new production, L'Après-Midi d'un Faune. Dated June 15, 1912 (4e Année - No 18). The cover features a photograph of a Classically-inspired bas relief showing the Faun and Nymph locking arms. An eight-page section in the middle of the magazine shows Nijinksy in the faun costume with various nymphs, in a layout designed like a Greek vase. Further spreads are devoted to Oscar Wilde's Salome and to the dancers of Daphnis et Chloé. 48 pp. Original binding staples appear to have been removed; loose pages and some wear to the spine; otherwise in very good condition. 9.5 x 12.25 inches (24.5 x 31 cm).

Set to "Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune" by Claude Debussy and with costumes and sets by Léon Bakst, the ballet was first performed in the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris on May 29, 1912. In what is considered to be one of the first modern ballets, the dancers were presented as part of a large tableau, a staging reminiscent of an ancient Greek vase painting. Presented in bare feet and rejecting classical formalism, the dancers often moved across the stage in profile as if on a bas relief. The work had an overtly erotic subtext beneath its façade of Greek antiquity, ending with a scene of graphic sexual desire.
