ORIGINAL Hand Colored & Signed Grateful Dead Acid Test Poster 1965 Museum Piece
I'm Considering Offers on a variety of extremely rare Grateful Dead Acid Test memorabilia. 2.5, by Paul Foster - THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF ROCK AND ROCK MEMORABILIA IN THE WORLD - A TRUE HOLY GRAIL AND CORNERSTONE OF ANY SERIOUS COLLECTION - Measures approx 8 1/2" x 44" and the frame included measures 14 3/4" x 50" - This poster has been professionally backed to linen. Its been hand painted with watercolors and pastels, by the Merry Pranksters in 1965. According to Mountain Girl, whom I have interviewed, approx a dozen of these were made as gifts and given out to close friends of the Pranksters and Grateful Dead. These were not used for shows, and the Muir Beach piece that is fitted to this poster, was added due to the original piece being missing at the time this poster was first retrieved from Reggie Williams, the owner of the Straight Theater whom it was first gifted to. Com, at a poster show. This poster is also featured in the front of the book, "High Art", though, with far less signatures than it has now.

Mike collected many of the signatures of attendees, located all around the poster on the matting. I collected some of them, myself as well. Here is the list of signatories starting from the top right, clockwise. Lee Quarnstrom (Merry Prankster), Robert Hunter, David Nelson, George Walker, Sunshine Kesey, Richard Alpert (Ram Dass)Hank Harrison, Sonny Barger of the Hell's Angels, Wavy Gravy, Allen Ginsberg, Tom Constantin, Ramrod, Ken Kesey, John Swan (Prankster), Rock Scully, Ken Babbs, Phil Dietz (Prankster), Chuck Kesey, Phil Lesh, Herb Greene, Sara Garcia, Mountain Girl, Bob Weir, Timothy Leary, Billy Kreutzmann, Grace Slick, Mike Hagen (Prankster) & Chet Helms - Almost all of these people were actual attendees of the acid test events. This is literally a piece of psychedelic artwork, not just a Poster.

This is a very special item. The hand coloring matches the hand coloring on my handbill that was hand colored by the Merry Pranksters, also available at this time. An opportunity like this may never come up again. This is truly a "once in a lifetime" chance to acquire a very important piece of early psychedelic history, that is sure to increase in value over time. PLEASE CONSIDER PICKING UP IN PERSON.

This is a Great Investment Item. Acid Test Posters and Handbills are the most collectable items of the psychedelia rock and roll period. Psychedelic Concert Posters are one of today's most solid investments.
