Original 1st printing 14 x 19&3/4" concert poster for Big Brother & the Holding Company (featuring Janis Joplin) appearing with the Human Beings at the Ark in Sausalito, CA on 2/23/1967. Art by Brighton Goodfellow, image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 224 (plate 2.308). Medium-thick flat vellum stock poster is in good (B) condition; a pin hole and light brown tape mark in the upper left corner, a pair of small tape pulls with a touch of residue in the top center margin, a nail hole/pull and a few tiny creases in the top right corner (a 1/4" wedge of paper is hanging by a thread), tape pulls/holes in the bottom left/right corner tips, a tiny 1/4" tear in the left center margin and a trace of surface wear, otherwise fine- virtually all of the conditional issues are confined to the corner tips/top margin, the image area is pretty spotless. Overall, a very fine-looking example of this early-'67 Big Brother/Janis poster from the Ark. This one doesn't seem to turn up often these days.
