The Charlatans Poster
Image may not exactly match item shipped.
The 1st printing poster was printed before the concert. On the left side it is trimmed along the thin white border, omitting the brown left margin of the reprint. It is on a beige stock, and the brown background ranges from light to dark. It measures 13 9/16" x 21 11/16".
The post-concert 2nd printing is also on beige stock, but this reprint has a brown left hand border, so it is wider, measuring 14" x 21 5/16". The brown background is lighter than it is on the original printing.
Herb Greene's work chronicles the heyday of Haight-Ashbury. Living in the neighborhood, Greene worked by day as staff photographer for a San Francisco department store and photographed the early rock scene on his own time. Greene's artistic reputation grew with the musical milieu; he shot the cover of Jefferson Airplane's first album and is considered by many to be the 'official' photographer of The Grateful Dead. After a 15 year respite, Greene re-involved himself in rock photography. He's published two books, exciting pictorial histories of The Dead and has had several successful exhibits and tours of his work.
