Description

Original 1st printing 13&7/8 x 20" (appx. -top/right margins are slightly shaved) concert poster for the Grateful Dead appearing with Oxford Circle at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco, CA from 11/4-5/1966

 Art by Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley, image is # 33 in the Family Dog/Avalon series. (OP-1 in the Eric King guide)

 Medium-thick flat vellum stock poster is in good (B) condition; aside from the previously-mentioned edge trimming (approximately 1/8-1/16" diagonal sliver shaved off the right margin, an even thinner slice along the top margin- presumably to fit into a frame), there are tack/pin holes in the upper left/right corner tips, a pair of hairline-thin diagonal creases in the upper left corner, a slight smudge/shadow on the "f" of "Grateful", a trace of handling wear and a couple of fossilized tape shadows on the reverse, otherwise fine.

 Despite the (relatively minor) condition issues on this example, from a presentation standpoint it looks really nice- virtually no toning or discoloration to the paper and fairly strong/thick inking.
