Between 1951 and the early 1970s, Lancaster designed numerous theatrical and ballet productions for venues including Covent Garden, Sadler’s Wells, Glyndebourne and the Old Vic. Bonne Bouche was a ballet by John Cranko produced for Covent Garden in 1952. This design includes fabric samples attached to the top left corner, and detailed notes on the specifics of the journalist's costume, which is a clash of loud pattern and colour, including a green and white checked suit which is too short on the trouser, revealing his yellow socks, which at least match the spotted bow tie, if not the red spotted crumpled handkerchief in his jacket pocket.","physicalDescription":"A man in green checked suit, brown shoes, straw, ribboned hat, beige bow-tie, and red-brown handkerchief in his pocket. He smokes a cigarette and holds a piece of paper. Four swatches of fabric are fixed to the page overlaying each other, top left corner: red-brown, yellow with black spots, a piece of woven straw, and grey-white painted with green lines to represent a check pattern.
