This poster was signed in silver ink by the artist Wes Wilson!

This early Fillmore poster is widely considered by many experts to be a text book example of Wes Wilson's iconic lettering. As such this poster has been widely exhibited in many museums across the country and around the world. It has also been appeared in many articles and books on the subject. According to Eric King the OP-1’s for this poster are determined by many differences; one major characteristic is the OP-1A has a pronounced florescence or glow under black light.

This is a serious "blue chip " Fillmore poster and very dificult to locate in 100% original unrestored condition like the one offered here! To have it signed by the artist takes it to a whole other level!
