A lithographed poster for the Great Kar-mi Troupe carries a visible correction: a paper slip reading "See Kar-mi" has been pasted over the name Victorina, who was also billed as a magician. Alterations like this were common when a company changed its lineup and reprinting was expensive. The sheet came from the Donaldson Lithographing Company of Newport, Kentucky, a firm that produced theatrical and circus posters for touring entertainers. The record gives only a bracketed estimate for the date, so the exact year of the printing is uncertain.
