Design Notes: Mouse used the color cream for the background and integrated the band members' faces into the artwork, with their name emerging from their heads. The artwork for this poster and the previous week's (BG-109 by Lee Conklin) were both based on the same 1967 Bob Whitaker photograph of the band.
Original Printing: The first printing was on uncoated index stock and measures approximately 14" x 21".
Collectibility: Original posters from this era, especially those by renowned artists like Stanley Mouse, are highly sought after by collectors. |
