Reginald John "Rex" Whistler (1905–1944)

Programme for a George VI State Performance

of Tchaikovsky's "The Sleeping Princess" in Honour of French President Albert François Lebrun

Royal Opera House, London

22nd March 1939

39.1 cm x 22.6 cm

Elaborately shaped, die-cut cream card covers with embossing, printed images and gold printed Royal crown and cypher. Gilt cord and tassels to the spine. Further illustrations and vignettes within (not by Rex Whistler), with details of performers over 12 pages.

An ornate souvenir programme for the State Performance hosted by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth at the Royal Opera House on 22 March 1939 in honour of the President of the French Republic, Albert François Lebrun (1871-1950) and his wife Madame Lebrun. The performers included Margot Fonteyn, Robert Helpmann, William Chappell, Frank Staff and Frederick Ashton with Sir Thomas Beecham conducting the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

Widely considered to be one of Rex Whistler's most beautiful printed designs this theatre program is a particularly remarkable and imaginative creation, considering the usual status accorded to such ephemeral objects. Along with the design for the shaped and embossed card, Whistler provided the cover illustration with the arms of France and England guarded by the national emblems of the English lion and Gallic rooster ('le coq gaulois'). For the night of the performance Rex Whistler had also decorated the Royal Box with similar motifs

Easy To Use
These work great for a really good price. I love using these when I'm making dishes that would be difficult to clean otherwise.

Value, Durability, Everyday Use
What I liked: - Price-to-value is the standout. These were significantly better priced than similar packs I’ve bought from local grocery stores and big discount retailers. - For everyday, disposable use—think casseroles, baked pasta, brownies, roasted veggies—the lighter weight is perfectly fine. - They stack neatly and are easy to store, which matters when you’re buying in bulk. What I didn’t like: - They’re a bit flimsier and not as thick as the store-brand pans I’ve used before. You can feel the difference when you handle them. - For heavier dishes (large lasagnas, big roasts, or anything dense with sauces), a single pan can flex more than I’d like. How I used them: - Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve used these for baking brownies, roasting chicken thighs with vegetables, and prepping freezer meals. When I expected more weight or lots of liquid, I doubled up the pans, which solved the flex issue and kept everything stable. - I also tested bending one to compare sturdiness. In the accompanying video, you’ll see me gently flexing the pan to show the “give.” In the photo, I placed this pan next to a thicker pan I bought at a regular store so you can see the difference in gauge. My takeaway: - If you need heavy-duty pans for very weighty dishes, these aren’t a perfect one-for-one replacement for thicker, premium options. However, for routine baking, storage, and serving—especially when you plan to toss the pan afterward—the cost savings make a lot of sense. - Doubling them for heavier recipes is a simple workaround that maintains stability while still keeping the overall cost lower than buying thicker single-use pans. Verdict: - I’ll be purchasing these again for everyday use and bulk meal prep. The value is strong, and the performance is solid when you match the pan to the job or double up as needed.
