Up for sale is a 100% authentic, original 1967 psychedelic poster from the heart of the San Francisco hippie movement. This iconic "Berkeley Bonaparte" release features stylized Tolkien-inspired imagery and vibrant "Summer of Love" colors. This is not a modern reprint; it features the correct "Tea Lautrec Posters" printer credit and the P.O. Box 1250 Berkeley address in the margins.
Condition Report:
This poster is in "Good" to "Very Good" vintage condition. It has been kept flat but shows honest signs of its nearly 60-year age. Please review the high-resolution photos for the following specific details:
• Edge Wear: Minor "nibbling" or roughness along the top and left paper edges.
• Staining: Some light amber-colored foxing/moisture staining visible on the top and bottom yellow margins.
• Surface: The colors remain exceptionally bold and vibrant. No major creases or vertical folds through the main image.
• Corners: Light bumping to the corners, consistent with age.
This is a must-have for collectors of 60s San Francisco art, Tolkien fans, or psychedelic rock poster enthusiasts.
