Dean Coll's enigmatic image, featuring what appears to be a monolithic form casting long shadows across a lunar landscape, brings an almost science-fiction sensibility to the late 1960s rock concert promotional format.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFD-140 advertises a three-night stand in October 1968 with Black Pearl and the all-female Ace of Cups as supporting acts, with Vulcan providing the essential liquid light show. This particular example was actually mailed to a recipient in Menlo Park, complete with the ornate Family Dog return address illustration that graced the verso of these collectible cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fascinating document of the evolving visual language of the counterculture, this postcard captures a moment when San Francisco's concert promotion was pushing beyond psychedelic cliché toward more experimental territory. An essential piece for collectors of Bay Area rock memorabilia and Family Dog ephemera.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.5\" x 6.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dean Coll (Photography), Wes Wilson (Graphic)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
