That Bert Nelson bill was obviously based on this pose of Clyde Beatty. I have wondered if Erie Litho had actually planned to issue this poster with Beatty's name and face and made the substitution when Beatty left Hagenbeck-Wallace to go with the Cole show and Nelson was hired to handle Beatty's old act.
