Here we have a killer design by the legendary Rick Griffin for the Hog Farm hosting a series of Thursday night "Open Celebrations" at Cinemateque 16 in Los Angeles during 1969. This second printing 1976 poster exhibits "Bindweed Venom" on the Royal can in place of "Cream Pudding" which was written on the original printings.
During the summer of 1976, a retrospective of Rick Griffin's artwork was held in London at The Roundhouse. Griffin took the original printing plates of this Hog Farm image with him to England and oversaw printer James Haworth to produce a numbered limited edition run of 3,000. They were humorously presented as "Alcock & Dicks Trading Co" in the lower left corner and labeled "1976 European Limited Edition". This example here is numbered "1614".
Condition Details: Heavy corner creases, edge tears.
