Original 1st printing 18 x 24&1/2" concert/event poster for "An Aquarian Exposition- 3 Days of Peace & Music", (more commonly known as "the Woodstock Music & Art Fair", or simply, "Woodstock"), held at Max Yasgur's farm in White Lake, NY from 8/17-17/1969 (*festival actually formally closed on the morning of August 19th).

 Art by Arnold Skolnick, image is featured in the Art of Rock on page 257 (plate 3.1).

 Medium-thick glossy-coated index stock poster is in good/decent (B/B-) condition; there is a moderate degree of fading/discoloration (item was famed and exposed to sunlight) with a thin strip of matte burn going around all four margins, a pair of thin diagonal pressure creases along the bottom right margin/edge, a tiny bump in the bottom left corner tip, a tiny vertical stress bend in the bottom margin (going through "Town"), a stray handling ding/pin-prick spot or two hiding within the image area and a bit of mounting tape residue along the reverse-side top margin, otherwise OK... physically, it's in pretty decent shape- it's just a bit "cooked".

 As there are often questions regarding the authenticity of these posters (there are NUMEROUS reprints), I will be happy to provide a COA.
