This magnificent poster for a cancelled Family Dog show at the Avalon is described by noted concert poster expert and historian Eric King as “The quintessential psychedelic poster”! The central image is borrowed from a  19th century painting by Viennese Painter  Franz Von Stuck . This image is a reoccurring theme in the Avalon series with this being its first use. Because this show was canceled this poster was produced JUST ONCE. No reprints are available which insures constant demand for the FIRST (and only) PRINTINGS of this hugely popular design. 

Tied with 3 other examples for the finest quality CGC graded example to appear at public auction. All brought just less than $1500 which seems like an amazing bargain to us. Classic image classic band un-improvable museum quality condition.

Estimate $1250-$1750
