One of the most beautiful and popular Grateful Dead posters in the Family Dog series. Mouse and Kelley found inspiration from the famous French Art Nouveau posters of the late 19th century. Original First printings of the "Girl in the Red Circle" are increasingly difficult to find. This fantastic example you see here is in HIGH QUALITY CONDITION with no tears or pinholes. Last May a same graded 9.2 example reached $3300 in our auction. This First Printing Grateful Dead poster should stir collectors' interest!
