By acclaimed costume designer Nicholas Rocker. Fabric swatches attached to the artwork and annotated in pencil, boldly signed by Nicholas Rocker and dated 1986 lower right. A photocopy of the picture with added notes and fabric swatches attached included. Janeausten.co.uk notes Rockers work in their critique of the film - “The costumes, created by Nicholas Rocker, are lavish and appealing. While some of the gowns must fall into the category of pure whimsy, others are quite correct.” A very decorative piece in Nicks distinctive style that would display very well. The picture measurements overall 35.5cm x 25.5cm. Nicholas Rocker is an award winning and accomplished costume designer who worked on many BBC productions and with music and film greats, including Shirley Bassey and Twiggy amongst many others.

A few minor light creases to the paper, very minor rubs to the corners of the paper and a bend to the bottom right corner, but these does not distract from the image. otherwise overall good condition.
