For The Benefit of Mr Kite

I was inspired by the following lyrics:

For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline*
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo Fanques Fair, what a scene
Over men and horses, hoops and garters
Lastly through a hogshead of real fire*
In this way Mr. K. will challenge the world

*A hogshead is large barrel. I combined the trampoline with a circle of fire through the hogshead.

Most of the lyrics came from a 19th-century circus poster for Pablo Fanque's Circus Royal appearance at Rochdale. It was one of three songs from the Sgt. Pepper album that was banned from playing on the BBC, supposedly because the phrase "Henry the Horse" combined two words that were individually known as slang for heroin. Lennon denied that the song had anything to do with heroin.

All my gallery pages quote sizes A1 and/or A2 but please message me for other sizes and cost. I recommend large sizes to get the most of my work. Framing is not currently available on this site but there are many online sites to order ready made frames to your size and taste. I can direct and recommend you to the best products I have found online.
