This LARGE SIZED FD-101 poster is a real gem and collectors passionately hunt it. During the summer of 1976, a retrospective of Rick Griffin's artwork was held in London at The Roundhouse. Griffin took printing plates of this FD-101 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 "473".
