Fillmore Poster BG 287 1st Print Signed by David Singer

Description

About the Poster
Offered is the first printing of the final show of the Fillmore BG # 287-1 signed in silver ink by David Singer.  One of the most beautiful images created for the Bill Graham series, this poster was used to promote the last concerts at the Fillmore West. The press run was much smaller than other posters of the time, making it much scarcer today. This poster was commissioned as a gift to Graham and was to be presented to him after the event.
According to Tea Lautrec printing records, only five hundred of these were printed.
I obtained this poster directly from David Singer when visiting his home in the East Bay.
The original poster was printed on coated index stock and measures approximately 22″ x 27⅞″.
The second print poster was printed on thin, uncoated index stock, and folded to fit inside the album recorded during the closing of the Fillmore.
This is one of my favorite posters.  I have a framed copy hanging in my home.
This poster has several issues but no tears, pinholes, handling marks, or missing paper.   There are however several places where the ink was never printed correctly or somehow was rubbed off.  Only David could answer this.  The most noticeable is the upper right corner area.  The next most notable area is the lower left border and lower left margin followed by more minor issues in the lower right corner and margin.  There is also a scuff between the words ‘Riders’ and ‘Messenger’.  This poster should still frame out nicely.  I have one framed in my family room should you want a picture to see how it looks framed.
Pictures are the best description on the condition of this poster.  I have taken many and will provide more upon request.

I have gone through great lengths to insure that my posters have been maintained using only archival materials.  I have preserved them on acid free paper mounted by protective corners stored flat in binders.  On most of the photos of posters that I will be offering you may notice these corner protectors.
Shipping Info :
To best insure their safe shipping I will therefore recommend using Fedex/UPS to mail this poster flat.
Should you want a cheaper alternative and are willing to accept responsibility, please contact me.
I know that many sellers roll the posters into a container which is much cheaper but may lead to slight damage of wrinkling and handling issues which, due to my view of these being not only pieces or art but historical offerings, I hesitate to do.
But if you  prefer the roll up method, the poster will be sent in a mailing tube via USPS Priority Mail.
