This poster belonged to Frank Westlake owner of the legendary Bindweed Press in San Francisco!
The FD 18 is another “Sleeper“ in the Avalon series. Unlike the rest of the Avalon / Family Dog posters this was printed on brown paper. Knowledgeable collectors know this paper was very easily damaged.
Mouse and Kelley once again dig into the well of popular culture icons for inspiration. This time they enlisted “Nipper” the famous terrier that was used as a logo for decades by the Gramophone Company and RCA/Victor Company. This poster was produced in a ridiculously low print run of 1300 copies. We believe that less than 10% of those copies still exist in ANY condition today.
