Under Two Flags. Blanche Bates Souvenir Edition

Although Ouida’s popularity had waned by the beginning of the twentieth century, her legacy began shifting toward the adaptation of her most enduring titles. Among them, Under Two Flags (1867) was the subject of numerous theatrical adaptations as well as several popular cinematic versions of the novel that were released between 1912 and 1936. The handsomely designed Blanche Bates edition of the novel features photographic scenes from the 1901 Broadway play directed by David Belasco.
