This poster is signed by both artists Stanley Mouse and the late great Alton Kelley!

 

The beautiful FD-43 Mouse and Kelley designed specimen you see here is the ultra desirable OP-1 original printing version! The OP-1 is the only FIRST pre-concert printing with the "Double-H Press" credit at the bottom and more importantly the only printing that fluoresces under a black light.

 

Experienced collectors know that the elusive OP-1 First Printing is the most scarce and difficult to locate issues of the FD-43. It's a classic image of sexy silent movie starlet Alla Nazimova that transcends time and trends. This poster is an often-overlooked gem in the series. The bottom contains an announcement for the Human Be-in the seminal event of the era! Best of all this piece exhibits two BEAUTIFUL Signatures!
