Burattini e marionette : il loro teatro ed i loro fantocci / Carlo Racca (Akkar) ; con 75 illustrazioni del pittore Biscaretti.
Burattini e marionette is a 1922 Italian study of puppets and puppet theatre by Carlo Racca, published in Turin by G.B. Paravia, with 75 illustrations by the painter Biscaretti. The pictures show a proscenium toy theatre, marionettes on strings, and hand puppets with painted faces, all in flat colour printed with a grainy stipple texture. A designer could take from them the stagey framing devices, the jointed figure poses, and the limited palette of rose, green, blue and ochre.
