Description

Judy Collins 1971 Frankfurt, Germany Folklore International Concert Poster. An original, slightly oversized German concert poster for an international folk-music concert taking place in Frankfurt, Germany on Monday, November 15, 1971. The biggest star by far was America's Judy Collins, which is why her face dominates the poster. Sweden, Romania and Argentina were also represented by their own folk stars.

Poster measures 23 1/2" x 33" and grades to Very Good condition, for strong toning and very light horizontal 'accordion creases' from being once rolled in storage. From the Archives of Charlie Rothschild. COA from Heritage Auctions.
