{"product_id":"bill-graham-overprints-4","title":"Quicksilver Messenger Service (Family Dog Overprint)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis extraordinary uncut printer's proof sheet for FD-130 offers a rare window into the production of San Francisco's legendary psychedelic concert posters. Designed by Stanley Mouse for Family Dog Productions, the poster advertises Howlin' Wolf with Dan Hicks \u0026amp; His Hot Licks and Quicksilver Messenger Service at the Avalon Ballroom in late July 1968. The ingenious playing card motif transforms the blues legend into the 8 of clubs, his imposing figure framed within an ornate oval.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this piece exceptional is its status as a working document from the printing process. The sheet displays multiple proof impressions in varying stages of registration, while the reverse reveals the orange color separation layer. Such production materials were typically discarded once the print run was approved, making survivors invaluable to collectors and historians seeking to understand how these iconic images were created.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA remarkable artifact from the golden age of psychedelic poster art, this proof sheet connects the craftsmanship of offset lithography with the creative explosion of the counterculture era. Not to mention, its truly 1\/1! One of a kind, never to be seen again. A standout acquisition for serious collectors of San Francisco rock memorabilia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22.75\" x 28.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Casey Simpson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, General border wear.
