Trips Festival Handbill 1966 Grateful Dead, Merry Pranksters

A January 1966 handbill for the seminal Trips Festival in San Francisco, designed (and later autographed) by Wes Wilson, the man who also designed 45 of the first 50 posters in Bill Graham’s numbered poster series (and the first 10 Family Dog posters as well). This event marked the beginning of the psychedelic Sixties in many ways, and included performances by The Grateful Dead, Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, Allen Ginsberg and a host of other Bay Area hipsters. Enthusiastically discussed by collector Pete Howard of PosterCentral.com (phone 805-540-0020, email pete@postercentral.com).
