| Notes | Poster advertised four consecutive Fillmore West mid-week and weekend concerts. A triptych in design, Griffin used hand-drawn color plates to make 3-D images project from the background, and the frames of the panel appear to be insect legs. A collaboration between Griffin and Alton Kelley, the image's central figure may be the herald from Hell, a menacing image which contrasts with the bubble-infused, cartoon-style lettering of the side panels. There are two known printings of this poster: 1st edition, printed before the show measuring about 28-5/16" x 21-15/16" 2nd edition, printed in 2018 in a 500 copy run. Measures 28-1/2" x 22" and has a Wolfgang's notation in the lower right-hand margin. Several different versions of postcard/handbill sizes exist with both mailing options (place stamp here and bulk rate) and Fillmore West calendar dates on the back. |
