The Artists International Association and School Prints Ltd published a portfolio of twenty-one Lithographic prints as part of a Festival of Britain celebrations. Their intention was to illustrate contemporary aspects of British life. The images were printed by Miller's Press and distributed by J. Lyons & Co ( the restaurant-chai, food manufacturing and hotel corporation), the Redfern Gallery and Better Books Ltd. Their intention was to disseminate fine art and place it in public spaces. John Minton and William Scott also contributed to the project. Vaughan's Festival Dancers was included on the collection ate the affordable price of £4.4s The two dancers, eyes closed and arms raised echo each other's creating a rhythmic, animated composition. Their anatomy is condensed, simplified, in accordance with Vaughan's treatment of the male figures at this time. They appear to be naked and, since they have no represented genitalia, seem somewhat androgynous. The pose of the figures, far from being a random invention or a merely decorative design, actually signifies something specific. Arms extended above the dancer's heads in this manner, derive from ballet's so-called 'fifth position'. In classical choreography the gesture, executed with rolling hand movements, is used to signify that dance is about to commence. Vaughan, an extremely knowledgable balletomane, would have certainly known this.
