Here we have the FINEST CGC Graded example of this popular issue to appear in our auction! The chicken on a Unicycle is a very early Victor Moscoso poster and it was the artist’s second contribution to the Family Dog series. Moscoso was one of the original “Big Five” artists and his work is highly praised within the art world.


This is only our third CGC Graded example to come to auction! In June 2013 a non-certified example of similar condition realized $1277 in our auction. This piece here is third party authenticated and graded museum quality. Early Avalon posters are amongst the most desirable items ever issued and this piece is sure to enjoy spirited bidding from collectors looking to add this rare original poster to their collection!
