Medicine Show Poster Griffin Charlatans Summer '67 1967 Original First Printing "Medicine Show" Jook Savages, Charlatans; Rick Griffin Performers: Jook Savages, Vast Majority, Charlatans, The Old Grey ZipperIllustrator: Rick GriffinVenue: Irwin Street WarehouseDate: 5/12 & 13/1967 City: San Rafael State: CaliforniaSize: 20" x 14"Printing: Silkscreen Signature: Not Signed This original first printing was featured in the Art of Rock (2.300). Noteworthy also is that it features Griffin's own band at the time, the Jook Savages. It was also among the early posters distributed by Berkeley Bonaparte, the distribution company formed by Griffin, Alton Kelley, Victor Moscoso, Stanley Mouse and Wes Wilson. This is also a great example of the fascination early San Francisco counterculture poster artists had with notions of the wild west, indians and elixers that cured what ailed you.This poster is in NM- condition. It has a very faint coloring from age which this shot seems to magnify. It does not distract in the slightest from its otherwise perfect condition. â(tm)« We've got lots of great posters, uncut press sheets, R.
