This image was one of several pictorial advertisements used for the play, and this example still has a printed overlay (c. 13 x 9 cm.) pasted on the top left advertising performances at the Clarence Theatre, Pontypridd, Wales, opening on Monday, December 19 [1898]. The chromolithographed poster shows John Bull, symbol of England, surrounded by a group of people of various nationalities who may be (from right to left): an Australian bushman in a red shirt, wearing a slouch hat and bandolier, with a kangaroo leaning on his shoulder; a Chinese man; Uncle Sam (representing the United States); a Dutchman; a Scotsman; an African man; John Bull (England); a bearded man (possibly a Boer); an Eskimo; an Irishman; a Frenchman; and a North American Indian chief. Although the man in the red shirt has been identified as Cody, he does not have his long hair and goatee, and the association with the kangaroo is a visual clue he is meant to be seen as Australian. A large number of Australians are believed to have been attracted to the Klondike Gold Rush (1896-1899) in Canada's Yukon Territory, although only several hundred actually made it to the goldfields.
