When Miss Cashmore appeared at the prestigious London Hippodrome in May 1901 her act was classified in the theatre programme as a 'Sport Act' as it is on this poster. Like many Variety performers Miss Cashmore would have had her own posters printed that could be sent to theatre managers to secure bookings. In this case hers was a particularly large and spectacular poster, printed in Copenhagen.

| Physical description | Pictorial and typographic. Depicts Miss Cashmore in a Variety costume, with blue tights and short tunic, a feather in her headdress, is shown seated in a carriage with two large wheels, between which a seat is mounted. The carriage was probably made especially for her act. A white horse pulls the carriage while another dog on his hind legs with his front paws on a bar of the carriage runs behind. Smaller dogs, possibly terriers, are by Miss Cashmore's feet, on the back of the horse, and running between the legs of the horse and the spokes of the wheels. |
