This poster is signed by one of the artists, Stanley Mouse!

From the Houston Freeburg Collection.

The FD 18 is another sleeper in the Avalon series. Unlike the rest of the Avalon / Family Dog posters, this was printed on brown paper. Knowledgeable collectors know this paper was very easily damaged and this issue remains all but impossible to find in this high museum quality condition. You could go many years without locating a better example!

Mouse and Kelley once again dig into the well of popular culture icons for inspiration. This time they enlisted Nipper, the famous terrier that was used as a logo for decades by the Gramophone Company and RCA/Victor Company. This poster was produced in a ridiculously low print run of 1300 copies. We believe that less than 10% of those copies still exist in ANY condition today.
