AUCTION - Timothy Leary - Messiah's World Communion - 1969 Calendar Poster - Straight Theater - Near Mint Minus

Offered for auction is a rare poster from the Straight Theater in San Francisco's Haight Ashbury district. This is an "up-and-coming" calendar piece for the week prior to and culminating in Easter Sunday, 1969. Billed as "Messiah's World Communion", the weeklong bash featured so many acts, anywhere from four to no less than ten acts on Sunday! The biggest name is Timothy Larry, the headliner on Friday and Saturday. The Sons of Champlin, Congress of Wonders, Orphan Egg, along with a plethora of other performers rounded out the bill. What a week. The fantastic mirror image photo at the top is my Barry Koral. Great lettering at the top, with a lovely trippy landscape line drawing framing the photo. 

The poster measures 17 1/2" x 22 5/16", and is in Near Mint Minus condition, with a little bit of edge toning at the upper right edge and very light handling. Never put up. Uncommonly scarce piece.
