Known as The Quick and the Dead, this poster 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 use of the skeleton on this poster predates-by several months-the use of the skeleton and roses image used on FD-26, which was designed by Mouse Studios. This is a Wes Wilson Family Dog first printing. Printed on thick vellum stock.
Fine other than pinholes on top and bottom that were matted over without impacting image. This poster was recently framed under UV non-reflective museum glass using the finest materials.
Happy to provide more pictures. Framed size is approximately 28 x 24.
