1990 FD-26 Grateful Dead Avalon PP9 Pirate Poster

This is a Forgery Printing (Listed in Eric King's book as PP-9) of this issue. King states in his guide, In 1990 Pyramid Books in England has a Hong Kong printer pirate this image. In 1997 it was discovered that this was a properly licensed reprint, not a pirate.

Here we have a great opportunity to acquire this image as a post concert Printing, for far less than the Original 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 1960s 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.
