Die Abbildung links zeigt uns die Nachbildung eines Zirkusplakats, welches John Lennon zu dem Song "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" inspirierte. Die Info daneben becshreibt das Plakat folgendermaßen:
"In 1967 John Lennon wrote a song called Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite! for the Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The inspiration, and many of the lyrics, came from a letterpress-printed circus poster from 1843 that he had bought in an antiques shop.
This is a lovingly recreated, letterpress printed reproduction of that poster. It uses antique wooden metal type and features two specially-commissioned wood engravings by notable British artist Andy English.
It was hand-inked and hand-pulled on a Victorian 'Albion' press. It is part of a limited edition of 1,967 - a number that commemorates the release date of Sgt. Pepper."
