operaqueen:Gertrude Lawrence’s personal copy of Anna and the King of Siam. This is the actual book, including hand written notes, that Gertrude sent to Rodgers & Hammerstein when she approached them to write a musical version of it, The King & I, for her. Talk about Star power. These are the first images of the book, ever published ANYWHERE. Thanks to Timothy! who found this in New York, and was smart enough to document it. It’s also an amazing book. I recommend it. -- source link
