The work first appeared under a number of giant cut-out paintings suspended on cardboard from the ceiling at Turf War, Banksy’s first major exhibition in a warehouse in East London in 2003.

After that, it was spotted in the streets of Vienna and London, where the stencil appeared with a distinct red Banksy tag through the middle of it.

The image went on to become one of the artist’s most instantly recognizable works after multiple Flying Coppers were pasted into a prominent position in London’s Shoreditch as a street piece.
