The poster advertises performances by Frumious Bandersnatch with Clearlightbuddy at the Avalon Ballroom on June 14, 15, and 16, 1968.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStark's approach here employs a photographic silhouette as its central element, surrounded by intricate doily and lacework patterns that have been posterized into pure black and white. This technique creates an optical complexity that rewards sustained viewing while maintaining immediate graphic impact. The radial arrangement of the band names around the central image follows conventions established by earlier Family Dog designers while achieving a distinctive visual identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poster documents the brief career of Frumious Bandersnatch, a Bay Area band whose reputation has grown considerably since their dissolution, partly due to their association with members who later joined Journey. As a first printing bearing the FD-123-1 designation, this example holds particular interest for scholars and collectors documenting the complete Family Dog series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22.0\" x 14.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Larry Stark\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
