Description

Peter, Paul & Mary 1966 Philharmonic Hall, New York City Lot of (2) Concert Posters. This lot consists of two vintage Peter, Paul & Mary cardboard window cards from New York City's prestigious Philharmonic Hall in 1966, using the same popular tour-blank template the group used throughout the decade. First up is the one with black print in the venue box, for Friday night, February 25, 1966. The other poster, with red print, advertised a show on Friday night, October 7, 1966.

Heritage wishes to reassure bidders that these posters are fresh from the Rothschild archives and haven't seen the light of day in decades, and were never used in the first place. So there is no fading to the posters whatsoever. If their coloring looks a little bit lighter than the pair from Carnegie Hall, it's because the colors used across the three musicians' photos would shift around over the decade that this tour-blank was used.

The February poster measures 13 1/4" x 21 1/2", and the October poster is ¼" taller. Both boards grade to Near Mint condition. From the Archives of Charlie Rothschild. COA from Heritage Auctions.
