In 1967, John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote a song called "Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite!" inspired by a Victorian circus poster that Lennon bought in an antiques store. Many years later, a determined fan sets about recreating Lennon's original poster as accurately as possible, with the help of a wood engraver and a letterpress printer, and using the same methods that would have been used to create the original in 1843.
