A Fabric swatch is pinned to the lower left hand corner of the mount. A pencil drawing of a woman's bodice is on the reverse.

This costume design by Alix Stone is part of an extensive collection of designs purchased by the Theatre Museum directly from the artist in 1994. The design was executed for a production of Richard Rodney Bennett's opera "The Mines of Sulpur", performed by Sadler's Wells Opera at Sadler's Wells, February 24th 1965. The libretto was written by Beverley Cross. The production was directed by Colin Graham, and the lighting was designed by Robert Bryan.
