Description

Allen Ginsberg and Timothy Leary "Gathering of the Tribes" Human Be-In Poster (1967). Expand your consciousness (and your poster collection) with this trippy event poster featuring speakers like Jerry Rubin, Michael McClure, Dick Gregory, Richard Alpert, and more, set in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park Polo Field. Thirty thousand people attended this January, 1967 event, which included unbilled performances by Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane, and resulted in Allen Ginsberg being declared the "Elder Statesman" of the hippie generation. This poster's "third eye" graphics were designed by Stanley Mouse, who added his distinctive "running rodent" signature in pencil to the lower border. The poster measures 14.25" x 20", and is in Near Mint condition. The "Summer of Love" got its early start right here on this cool Saturday event!
