Description: “Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite” The poster upon which the song is based From the album, Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band This is an absolute must, for any Beatle fan. A Brilliant Copy of an iconic poster. A real conversational piece John wrote the song taking inspiration from a nineteenth century circus poster which he purchased from an antique shop near Sevenoaks in Kent on January 31st 1967, while filming the promotional video for Strawberry Fields Forever. The poster itself is 430mm x 210mm with sepia colouring, (not like some inferior black n white or even red copies that can be found). The picture doesn’t do the poster justice. It is printed on a flexible 300 weight silk paper that looks stunning framed, I know this as I have one hanging in my hall way. It will be sent in a postal tube for added protection. The words on the poster, as it reads are. PABLO FANQUE'S CIRCUS ROYAL TOWN-MEADOWS, ROCHDALE Grandest Night of the Season! AND POSITIVELY THE LAST NIGHT BUT THREE! BEING FOR THE BENEFIT OF MR.
