Description

 Original 1st printing 5&1/2 x 8&1/2" boxing-style concert handbill for a multi-act "Folk, Blues & Gospel Concert" held at Hunter College in New York City on 5/15/1964.

Acts listed include: Reverend Gary Davis, Mississippi John Hurt, Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry, Cousin Joe Pleasant, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Muddy Waters, Otis Spann, Ransom Knowling and Willie Smith.
 
 Printer not credited (most likely Murray Poster Printing), thin flat stock letterpress handbill is in near mint (A- to B+) condition; nothing more than a soft bend in the upper right corner and a couple of tiny pin-prick smudges along the upper left margin area, otherwise it is an almost-clean example of this nifty little mid-'60's concert artifact from NYC.
