A bronze edition of 8 plus 1 artist's copy were cast from this originial sculpture.

One year after Peter Blake completed the present sculpture, the artist drew upon this work, along with a sculpture titled Equestrian Act, as the basis for a two-part monumental bronze sculpture, Life as a Circus. The Blackpool Borough Council commissioned the monumental sculpture for The Great Promenade Show, a permanent outdoor installation reflecting the history and character of the coastal English town.
