1968 FD-118 Quicksilver Messenger Service Ace of Cups Avalon Ballroom Poster Near Mint 89

Description

Bob Schnepf, who contributed to several popular Family Dog posters, rendered this poster for a weekend of Quicksilver Messenger service shows at the Avalon Ballroom. This really fine poster is not often noticed in the overall Family Dog Series. However the image is humorous and well-conceived, the use of color is strong and the lettering is really tight.
