This post-concert printing poster is signed by one of the artists, Stanley Mouse!

 

From the Houston Freeburg Collection.

 

PLEASE NOTE: There were two original pre-concert printings of this poster (OP-1 and OP-2) produced. This example here is the First Official Second Printing (Post-Concert) of this issue. The "RP-3" numbering code is slightly mis-leading, as this is technically the FIRST reprint, and NOT the THIRD reprint as the code would suggest. There is no RP-2 numbering code for this Family Dog poster. 

 

Eric King states in his guide that there were 1,000 copies printed of this RP-3 edition. 

 

The Woman with The Green Hair is one of the seminal posters of the era. This Mouse/Kelley piece utilizes the classic Art Nouveau image created by artist Alphonse Mucha for the JOB cigarette paper logo. It's a perfect blend of beauty and history.
