The BG-26 featuring both Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead is yet another creative leap forward for the work of Wes Wilson. This image represents the first time that the artist would incorporate a nude figure into his Fillmore poster art. This would be a reoccurring theme in Wilson's work for the remainder of the time he was enlisted by Bill Graham.

Experienced collectors know that the Original Printings of this issue are some of the most valuable and sought after of the BG series. This reprint released shortly after the show but still 50 years ago represents a more affordable way to acquire this fantastic work of art!

PLEASE NOTE: The designation for this reprint poster is "RP-4" however technically this is the second printing ... as the OP-1 OP-2 and OP-3 are all considered Original Pre-Concert Printings and the RP-4 is considered the second printing (Post-Concert).
