Quite simply this SPECTACULAR POSTER is widely considered one of the most beautiful and popular Grateful Dead posters in the Family Dog series. Mouse and Kelley found inspiration from the famous French Art Nouveau posters of the late 19th century. Original First printings of the "Girl in the Red Circle" are increasingly difficult to find. A lower-graded 8.5 graded example sold for $1,622.00 in our auction over 4 years ago. This HIGH GRADE 9.6 example here should stir collectors' interests!
