The reverse image is an engraved rendition of a photograph by one of Canada's foremost dance photographers, David Cooper. This overhead view features six dancers from the Royal Winnipeg Ballet's lavish production of The Sleeping Beauty - a ballet classic that brings together timeless choreography from Marius Petipa and the spellbinding music of Tchaikovsky. With their arms outstretched and intertwined, the dancers form a snowflake-like pattern as they lean forward, their right legs outstretched in front of them so that their point shoes meet at the centre. Advanced "Sheer Effect" colour faithfully recreates the stunning costumes worn by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet's dancers and further showcases the beautiful embellishments that adorn their traditional platter tutus.
