Replicating John Lennon's "Mr. Kite" poster

The Beatles tune "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" was inspired by an 1843 circus poster that John Lennon purchased at an antiques store and hung in his music room. London designer and Beatles superfan Peter Dean recreated this poster in obsessive detail. He went so far as to collaborate with a wood-engraving artist and had the final poster letterpress printed. Now you can own it too, for £245.00 GBP. "Kite"

  Amazing piece of work.. I’ve always wanted my own copy and wondered why I had only seen it in that one famous picture.
