"The Yeoman of the Guard, the eleventh Gilbert and Sullivan opera, was first performed at the Savoy Theatre, London, on 3 October 1888. The combination of Sir William S. Gilbert's lyrics and the music of Sir Arthur Sullivan is as fresh today as when it first appeared, but many people forget that Gilbert was a brilliant dramatist and humorist in his own right... In this facsimile reprint of MacMillian's 1929 edition, the lyrics are accompanied by colour illustrations by Russell Flint, President of the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolours (1936-56), whose work is now more sought after than ever before, and black-and-white ink drawings by Charles Brock."--Front cover flap.
