About this Item

EXTREMELY RARE! REX WHISTLER designed this glorious programme for the State Performance in Honour of The President of the French Republic and Madame Lebrun, at the Royal Opera House, March 22, 1939. WHISTLER's cover design is an elaborate affair; the embossed card covers are ingeniously cut away in curves. It is fabulously decorated by Rex Whistler on the front and back. A gold cord, with tassels, forms the binding round the twelve folded pages. Dancers included Margot Fonteyn, Robert Helpmann, William Chappell, Frank Staff and Frederick Ashton. Sir Thomas Beecham conducted the London Philharmonic Orchestra. This is a great collectable example of ephemera in its own right, but it is of especial value for admirers of Rex Whistler.
