Question: Wanted poster!

Does anyone know of where I could get (or download) a good sized copy of this poster (advertising the fictional magician Li H'sen Chang), seen in the classic Dr Who story 'The Talons of Weng Chiang'? I'd love to get a large sized copy to frame for my living room for some subtle geek chic!

If nothing else pans out, contact a few local arts colleges, especially ones with printmaking classes, and send the picture to the relevant instructor(s). They may help you out by offering it as a class assignment option, or -- if you have a budget -- might help you find a starving student who will do a decent job of it.

You may want to try posting this question at the rpf (replica prop forum) to see if it's already been done. There are plenty of Doctor Who fans over there. Similar items are regularly recreated from screen caps and photos.

Good luck. (And yes, it would be a sublime bit of geek chic.)

This is a long time out, but "Talons" was the discussed story last week on Enlightenment at the doctorwhoforum, and somebody made the same request and somebody else took a stab at it.
