Item Description
14.25x20". First printing, FD-29-OP-1. Promoting Oct. 7 & 8, 1966 concerts that took place at Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco, CA featuring Big Brother & the Holding Company with Janis Joplin, the Jim Kweskin Jug Band and Electric Train. Poster design by Mouse Studios and is signed by Stanley Mouse & Alton Kelley. Loss at top left corner, tack hole in each corner, scattered short margin tears and moderate age throughout. VG. Mouse & Kelly used the art of Alphonse Mucha from an 1896 cigarette ad changing the colors to provide a psychedelic vibe. As an interesting aside Mucha was himself riffing of the image of Sibyls part of the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo. And the image has proved popular across the centuries w/this poster seeing reprints and a litany of iterations. Eric King's "The Collectors Guide To Psychedelic Rock Concert Posters, Postcards & Handbills 1965-1973" notes the original print run at 2000 and give the immense popularity from the start the survival rate is assuredly low.
