Original 1st (only) printing 14 x 20" event poster for a performance of (beat poet) Michael McClure's one-act play, "The Beard", held at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, CA on 7/24/1966. Art by Wes Wilson, image is # 19 in the Bill Graham/Fillmore series and is one of the only early (pre-1967) Bill Graham posters that was not reprinted later. Medium-thick flat vellum stock poster is in excellent (B+) condition; just a 1" tear in the right margin just to the right of the "d" of "Beard" (taped on the reverse with clear tape) and a pair of very subtle surface stains on the "e" of "Fillmore" and on the forehead of the face on the left side, otherwise it's an absolutely GORGEOUS example of the BG 19 with great/strong colors. If you are looking to put together a complete Fillmore set, this is a very nice-looking example of a hard-to-get (and necessary) component.
