This is an Original PRINT PLATE of the August 1966 Jefferson Airplane & Big Brother with Janis Joplin at Loser’s South in San Jose Handbill designed by Mouse & Kelley (Double Sided Plate) used and owned by FRANK WESTLAKE the owner of the Bindweed Press!

 

The vast majority of the printing plates used to print bill graham presents and the family dog presents posters are in the hands of either a company which holds the copyrights or a museum/archive which holds them as part of their core artistic holdings. It is extremely unlikely that any of these printing plates ever will come on the open market within the lifetime of current collectors even younger ones.

 

Frank Westlake was the printer of this handbill and the owner of this printing plate. Now you can own it frame it and hang it on your dining room wall as the trophy piece of your collection. All you have to do is outbid all the other collectors who will be out to own this item which certainly is one of the treasures of the entire 1960’s era.

 

Size: 17.88” x 20.63”
