Quite simply this 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 and we've been very lucky to come across a few of them this year. A few months ago we auctioned another CGC 7.5 graded example for $1,800.00.
