Original 1st printing 17&3/8 x 22" uncut printer's proof sheet (concert poster + (3) handbills) for the Charlatans appearing with Valley Fever at the Marigold Ballroom in Fresno, CA from 3/15-16/1968. Art by Terre', image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 171 (plate 2.129). Medium-thin flat vellum "parchment" stock sheet is in good to very good (B to B/B+) condition; there are a series of 4-5 semi-pronounced diagonal bends/creases in the lower left corner (each about 3-5" long), a semi-pronounced 4" diagonal bend in the lower right corner, light handling wear, a 1/2" tear in the lower right margin and a few tiny edge dings/nicks scattered around the outer margin area and a hint of surface wear, otherwise fine. ULTRA-uncommon Charlatans item from the Art of Rock, apparently there were several types of paper used to print this one... I'm guessing this was a not-entirely above-board "after hours" job. Very cool artifact!
