{"product_id":"bill-graham-and-family-dog-poster-5","title":"Humble Pie by David Singer  (BG-280-1)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis original first printing Family Dog concert poster (FD-91-OP-1) announces a November 1967 engagement by The Youngbloods and Mad River at San Francisco's legendary Avalon Ballroom. Designed by Chris Townson, the poster is among the rarest entries in the Family Dog series, as Townson created only two concert posters during his brief contribution to the psychedelic poster movement. Rather than depicting one of the performing artists, he presents a stylized portrait of John Lennon, rendered as a Victorian dandy with round spectacles and his trademark mustache, dramatically revealing a paisley-lined garment centered by a radiant sunburst medallion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTownson's bold, minimalist composition draws on Victorian illustration and Art Nouveau while embracing the graphic experimentation of San Francisco's psychedelic era. The restrained palette of warm peach, black, red, and yellow creates a striking visual presence, while the flowing hand-lettered typography integrates seamlessly into the overall design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs FD-91-OP-1 in the renowned Family Dog series, this poster captures a defining moment in the late-1960s San Francisco music scene. Printed by Tea Lautrec Litho and retaining its original ticket outlet listing, including counterculture landmarks such as City Lights Books and Mnasidika, it stands as both an exceptional work of graphic design and an important artifact of rock history. A scarce first printing by an artist whose contribution to the Family Dog series was limited to just two posters, it represents a distinctive and highly collectible example of San Francisco psychedelic poster art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21.0\" x 14.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
