This poster is signed in ink by the artist John Van Hammersveld!
The embossed "Royal Albert Hall" stamp on the bottom center red edge area distinguishes this example to be an original pre-concert first printing poster. (See second photo) 500 were signed and numbered and some were just signed by the artist like this one here. In 2005 Cream reunited at the request of Eric Clapton for a series of shows at The Royal Albert Hall. Fittingly this was the same venue where the band had played their final shows in 1968. The trio played four nights three of which would go on to be turned into a live album.
This poster was designed by John Van Hamersveld famous for the 360 ft mural for the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles in addition to covers for such blockbuster albums as “Magical Mystery Tour” “Exile on Main Street” and “Skeletons in the Closet”.
The last piece of memorabilia for one of the most important rock bands ever. Best of all this poster is in virtually unimprovable museum quality condition and is signed by the artist! Read our blog dated 1/20/18 where we discuss the skyrocketing demand for signed material such as this lot.
