Dear Tom,
Thank you very much for the information about the publication listed

Carolin, There are a number of sources, but most reproduce the image
in black and white. A fine color image may be found in Cesari
Molinari's exellent, succinct theatre history. It has gone through a
number of editions in a a number of languages. The original title is:
_TEATRO: Lo spettacolo drammatico nei momenti della sua storia dalle
origini ad oggi, Mondadori, Milano, 1972.
