NotesA second poster for the same 1903 Hamlin production. The Library of Congress indexes it under the Tin Man. Like the first, it sells the show on comedy and spectacle — and, like the first, it has no witch on it, because the show did not have one. Source: Fred R. Hamlin’s musical extravaganza, The Wizard of Oz. Cincinnati and New York: The U.S. Lithograph Co., 1903. Color lithograph poster. digital id cph 3b53101 and var 1422.
