None of your links showed up. However, if you can track down a copy of The Complete Phantom of the Opera by George Perry (which, while out of print, still seems pretty easy to obtain a used copy on Amazon) there are a lot of gorgeous photos of Maria's work; drawings, models, costume renderings, and full production photos.
It's such a shame that Maria is no longer with us. She was a stunning visual artist who really knew how to tell a story through her designs.

I own The Complete Phantom. Great book. Pick up a used copy on Amazon. you can also check Strand books if you are in the NYC area.
Also have the book for Aspects of Love. A great look behind the scene book also.

I picked up a copy of this book when I was ten years old, and I scoured every single page of that thing. I don't know how or why I was allowed, but I did a book report on it. I remember I held up the book to the full-page image of Michael Crawford, white contact lens and all. I'd forgotten about that until just now.
Anyhow, great book and great set models, too!
