This original postcard is stamped on the reverse by Ben Friedman of Postermat. The Postermat franchise had 3 stores in the 60s. One in New York (run by Joan & Marty Gisler), one in Los Angeles (run by Fred Gisler their son), and one in San Francisco which Ben Friedman ran. They also had a related printing and distribution business Personality posters which supplied their stores and others.

 

This Victor Moscoso Doors Postcard is a favorite among Avalon Ballroom collectors. The lyrics Break on Through to The Other Side appear above the artist's vision of expanding consciousness. A Great Moscoso design, a must-have for Doors fans! Here is a super affordable way to own this classic and highly sought-after image without paying the high prices the poster can command.

 

Condition: corner bumps.
