Detail of the original poster. This particular poster was rediscovered in 2009, in a police file in the custody of Public Record Office Victoria. The police had become involved with the film in 1906 when it was banned in towns, such as Benalla, where the Kelly gang had operated and where, in some cases, their descendants still lived. Only three original Kelly film posters are known to exist.Kelly Historical Collection, VPRS 4965/P0, unit 7
