We believe this is the PP-14 Pirate Printing as described in Eric King's guide, produced in 2008.

Here we have a great opportunity to acquire this image as the Pirate Printing for far less than the Original or official reprints of this issue would command!

The FD 26 is without question one of the “Holy Grails” in the entire Psychedelic Concert Poster genre. This world-famous piece of art was designed by the legendary 1960’s concert poster artists Stanley Mouse and the late Alton Kelley.

The story of Mouse and Kelley searching the stacks at the San Francisco library for an appropriate illustration for the poster is well documented. The duo discovered this illustration by 19th-century artist Edward Joseph Sullivan for an edition of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.
