Item Description
22x34" textured paper poster advertises April 18, 1971 concert at Painters Mill Music Fair presented by "Tree Frog Productions" featuring Procol Harum and Cat Stevens. Art features images of ringmaster w/animal whip and a clown facing each other, the clown pointing at him in a mocking manner. Concert date at top right is over the image of a cross.
The Baltimore suburb of Owings Mills, MD saw a rag-tag group of hippies (under the moniker Tree Frog Productions) create a 16-month party promoting concerts at Painter's Mill Music Fair. The venue was constructed for theatrical plays and featured a revolving stage for productions in the round. "It was kind of the area's version of what was happening at the Fillmore in San Francisco" says Ron Nix, a regular attendee and collector who had the foresight to preserve a selection of posters produced for advertising the famed concert series.
Poster shows obvious wear, w/1.25x7" area of dark staining at upper right, 1.5" tear at top center, insect damage along margins and at corners and lower right corner having .75" crease. 1/8x.5" insect hole to left of ringmaster's hand. Scattered staining/handling wear w/2" strip of tape staining at center from tape once applied to back of poster; smaller .5" and 1" strips of staining at bottom margins. 1.25" spot of moisture staining at bottom center. Good/VG overall.
