Original 1st printing 14 x 20" concert poster for African folk music legend Miriam Makeba appearing in three exclusive weekend engagements at Art D'Lugoff's Village Gate in NYC's Greenwich Village on 6/2-3, 6/9-10 and 6/30-7/1/1967. Art by Gail Cochrane, image is one of very few posters created by Liberty Graphics for shows at the Cafe Au Go-Go (and elsewhere); they were distributed by the poster shop upstairs from the club ("The Infinite Poster"). Medium-thick flat vellum stock poster is in excellent (B+) condition; aside from a slight horizontal roll bend traversing the bottom border, a pair of tiny edge nips/pulls in the lower right margin/edge, a couple of tape shadows on the "e" of The" and on the "t" of "Gate", a soft dime-sized stain in the lower left corner, a few soft handling dings and a stray edge nick or two, otherwise fine. Great-looking psychedelic poster from the Liberty Graphics series.
