This handbill belonged to Frank Westlake owner of the legendary Bindweed Press in San Francisco!
Here is a fabulous original first-printing example of a classic Family Dog handbill. The example you see here exhibits the Orange zebra stripes. Much like the original poster the color of the zebra stripes on this handbill varied throughout the first printing from light yellow to a deep orange color. The ORANGE versions like the one here are FAR SCARCER and harder to find than the yellow variants. Designed by Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley this handbill creates a stunning visual impact to the viewer. It should be noted; this image was also used by Gary Grimshaw for the Zebra Man Grande Ballroom poster just weeks later.
It's not secret handbills are far easier to counterfeit than posters. CGC authentication finally brings integrity and stability to this popular segment of the marketplace.
