Just in case you don't know... Oliver Hilary Sambourne Messel (13 January 1904, London – 13 July 1978, Barbados) was an English artist and one of the foremost stage designers of the 20th century. Besides his celebrated work in the theater - both sets and costumes - he also designed for film and ballet, retail settings, hotels, and completed private architectural and interior design commissions.
