Original 1st printing 14 x 20" 1966 promotional poster for Palo Alo, CA restaurant "The Red Hat";
Art by (and SIGNED in pencil by) Wes Wilson, image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 239 (plate 2.364).
Medium-thick flat vellum stock poster is in decent (B/B-) condition; there are staple holes in all four corners and in the left/right center and top center margins, along with a large 2" horizontal tear (with a couple of thin diagonal bends extending from the tip) and a semi-pronounced stain in the left center margin, another soft stain in the lower left corner, a pair of small horizontal tears along the upper right margin, a series of fairly well-camouflaged thin vertical bends stretching along the right margin, a few tiny stress bends and pin-prick spots lurking within the image area and a bit of light uneven toning on the reverse side, otherwise OK.
Conditional issues aside, it is still a very presentable ARTIST-SIGNED example of this early (spring 1966) Wes Wilson poster from the AOR.
