Original 1st printing 22 x 17" 1967 Oracle Co-Op poster, "Renaissance or Die", originally a centerfold in Oracle #5 (January 1967, the "Human Be-In" edition), featuring a poem by Allen Ginsberg and a design by Rick Griffin. Image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 80. Thin flat "butcher paper" stock poster is in excellent to near mint (B+ to B+/A-) condition; aside from a few scattered light handling creases/pinch dings, a soft 1" bend in the lower right corner and a few tiny dings around the edges, it is an absolutely GORGEOUS specimen. As with a number of the Oracle Co-Op posters, the fragility of the paper stock accepts damage fairly easily, so finding one in really nice shape can be a challenge. One of Griffin's first San Francisco psychedelic posters.
