Known as “The Quick and the Dead,”  is one of the most classic of the early Family Dog images, and represents the first use of a skeleton to promote the Grateful Dead. Designed by Wes Wilson, the central image is a nattily-dressed skeleton wearing a cowboy hat and smoking a cigar. The image used by Wilson is actually an old woodcut by Jose Guadalupe Posada, a Mexican artist. The use of the skeleton on this  predates-by several months-the use of the skeleton and roses image used on FD-26, which was designed by Mouse Studios. While the skeleton and roses theme went on to become a trademark of the Grateful Dead, this is very significant from a historical perspective and is in constant demand.
