Original Prints: Black Figures
Abstract: Black figures were inked prints taken from the one-dimensional figures listed in Box 13, folders 1 through 20. These prints
were developed by Craig from the wood and cardboard silhouettes used in his model stage to illustrate the scenes he envisioned
for the production of the Moscow
Hamlet. The one-dimensional figures were inked in black and pressed on thin paper or cloth, revealing in the print the stylized
features and folds of the carved garments of the original silhouettes.

Were made to illustrate Craig's concept of arrested motion in scenic development. During progressive stages in the etchings
process, the illusion of greater light appeared to gradually reveal the scene; a process similar to that achieved by Craig's
use of materials in set design which provided the illusion of ephemeral scenes.

Biographical/Historical note
Gordon Craig's interest in marionettes can be traced back as far as 1905, with the publication of
The Art of the Theatre. (London: Foulis, 1905) In 1907, Craig wrote a critical review of acting titled The Actor and the über-marionette, which
was published in the second issue of
The Mask in April, 1908. Gordon Craig's plays for puppets included The Gordian Knot, Mr. Fish and Mrs. Bones, The Tune the Old Cow
Died of, and The Three Men of Gorham, which were published in his journal,
The Marionette, in 1918 and issued separately in limited editions in the same year. He also wrote a version of Romeo and Juliet for marionettes
which was issued only in a limited edition, also in 1918.
