Official unknown (Big O Posters Ltd. 1967) printing 19&3/8 x 29&3/8" art/merchandise poster, "Blowin' in the Mind" (or "Mister Tambourine Man"), featuring a psychedelically-enhanced portrait of the one and only Bob Dylan by legendary Australian artist Martin Sharp (image was originally commissioned in 1967 for UK underground magazine, "OZ" (issue #7) and is BOP #1 in the Big O Posters series (first image in the series). Thick foil-coated glossy stock poster is in good to very good (B to B/B+) condition; there is an approximately 4" horizontal stress crease in the right center margin, along with a small 2" diagonal stress bend below Bob's right eye, a series of light surface scratches/tiny scuffs scattered throughout the image area, a couple of tiny corner-tip creases, a couple of light scuffs on the reverse and a few VERY soft handling dings, otherwise fine.... quite a few of the conditional issues are fairly well camouflaged by the design. An unquestioned MASTERPIECE of 1960's psychedelic art, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London has one of these posters in their permanent design collection.
