Grateful Dead "Skull and Roses" Avalon Ballroom Concert Poster FD26-2, Second Printing (Family Dog, 1966). Here's the one every Deadhead wants, featuring that classic "Skull (actually, it's a full skeleton) and Roses" design created by Stanley Mouse that has since been used for a variety of t-shirts, coffee mugs, etc. There have been ten printings of this iconic poster to date; this early version still rates quite high with serious poster collectors. Condition is VG; there are tack holes in each corner, along with numerous small edge tears and light tanning of the paper, yet the image remains vibrant and colorful. Size is 14.25" x 20".
