Original 1st printing 28&1/2 x 16&1/2" event poster for the 1967 California Shakespeare Festival, held on the campus of the University of Santa Clara from 7/7-8/19/1967. Art by Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley (whom has also SIGNED the poster in pencil), image is featured in the Art of Rock on page 239 (plate 2.366). Medium-thick flat index stock poster is in BEAUTIFUL near mint (A- to A-/B+) condition; aside from a whisper of handling, a soft diagonal crease and an ultra-tiny edge roll bend in the lower right corner, this example can not be topped. An absolutely EYE-SEARING image from a relatively small California college event. Nice large Kelley signature on this one (personally obtained by the consignor in the 1990's).
