Here is a reprint of one of the most important posters in the world of Psychedelic art. This poster for a September 1966 Grateful Dead concert at the Avalon Ballroom is one of the most coveted collectibles of all.

The FD -26 is one of the undeniable stars of the 1960’s concert poster genre and its place in history is well known. This classic Mouse/Kelley design has survived the test of time and is easily one of the most recognized images in all of Rock.

The Psychedelic Art exchange historically has only dealt in first printing posters. However the importance and collectability of this poster has convinced us to make an exception in this case.

This poster measures 14 5/32” x 19 3/4”. There is paper missing from the top left corner a ¾ inch tear on the top middle edge a ¾ inch tear on the right edge a 2 inch tear on the left edge pinholes in 3 remaining corners a smidge of handling and tape on the back.

*****This poster is available for inspection at our gallery by appointment. *****
