In a world where imitation may not have been the sincerest form of flattery but the easiest way to
produce a poster, it must be noted that in 1924, Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus
produced a poster featuring basically the same image and the exact same text promoting the act at the
bottom. Circus p. 60 (var).
