Original 1st printing 14 x 11" boxing-style event poster for "LSD guru" Dr. Timothy Leary appearing at the Gymnasium on the campus of Hamilton College in Clinton, NY on 10/1/1969. Designer unknown/not credited, medium vellum stock poster is in used (B-) condition; there is a large piece of masking tape and a pair of decent-sized vertical tears along the top margin, plus a series of creases, semi-pronounced bends, a moderate amount of toning, a few stray small moisture stains along the upper right margin, a tape pull along the bottom center margin, a 1/4" corner tip missing from the top left corner... this example was quite obviously removed from public display at the time of the event, it's fairly hammered. Conditional issues notwithstanding, still a pretty cool (and uncommon) little oddball Leary piece from a tiny upstate New York liberal arts college. Can't be too many of these out there!
