This poster is signed and doodled in pencil by the artist Stanley Mouse!
It is with great joy that we offer this opportunity to own an affordable CGC authenticated and graded Reprint of one the most important and famous concert posters ever created. 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 1960’s 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.
CGC graded signed First Print FD-26's are easily worth $40 000-$50 000 so this reprint poster offers an incredible bargain. It features incredible bold and bright colors and razor sharp pinpoint corners. We expect crazy bidding on this piece as this opportunity may not present itself again for MANY years to come!
