Posters changed with the times. Edward Potthast reduced the scene to a suggestion of a ring. Dynamic action filled the space as the equestrienne, silhouetted against a fiery background, balanced gracefully upon her steed. The image supplanted the use of words, which have been reduced to the show’s title.
