Hi everyone,
I really wanted to share this with you. I'm a designer in London (and massive Beatles fan) and I have spent the last six months recreating the Victorian circus poster that inspired Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite! I used the methods that were used to create the original in 1843, so the poster is letterpress printed - by hand - and the illustrations were recommissioned from a well-known British wood-engraver.
You can see the result of my work here:

I hope you like it!
Best,
Pete

P.S. I checked with Dmitry before posting this and it has his blessing.

That looks great, Pete. A fine job. It's a bit expensive for my current wallet tho.
-
That's really nice, Pete! Thank you for sharing. It's a bit steep for me right now, too, but I hope you have brisk sales. :)

Thanks Bobber / Normandie. It's important to me that real Beatles fan approve of what I've done.

very good, in fact excellent mate ;)

Thank you Nimrod.
Sorry - my post earlier should have said "fans"! Obviously I would like more than one person to approve of it...

Best,

I love it! I've always wanted a high quality reproduction of this (or the original LOL) and I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I could right now.
