The FD 26 is without question one of the “Holy Grails” in the entire Psychedelic Concert Poster genre. This issue is on everybody’s top 3 lists of “most desirable” posters. This world-famous piece of art was designed by the legendary 1960s concert poster artists Stanley Mouse and the late Alton Kelley. The story of Mouse and Kelley searching the stacks at the San Francisco library for an appropriate illustration for the poster is well documented. The duo discovered this illustration by 19th-century artist Edward Joseph Sullivan for an edition of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.
This reprint poster (designated as RP-13 in Eric King's book) offers you the same iconic world-famous art at a much more affordable price level! This is the Portal Publications reprint which is printed on thin stock and reads "RP 006 c 1977 Kelley/Mouse Portal Publications Ltd. Corte Madera. California 94925" on the right side of the bottom margin.
