PSYCHEDELIC East Totem West Poster GATES OF EDEN OVERPRINTED

Description

Wow, it's a very rare
EAST TOTEM WEST
overprinted
PSYCHEDELIC
ACID TRIP poster from the old days. What a flashback to
1967
!
Found in the basement cellar, stored flat for 40+ years with the Grateful Dead & Rock memorabilia.
For a very short period of time, 1967 – 1968, a small group talented hippie artists in the San Francisco Bay Area came together to form a Psychedelic poster & card company,
East Totem West
.
Joseph McHugh, the founder, evolved the Bill Graham & Family Dog Psychedelic concert poster artwork to a new level.
Acid Trip images you could peak out on.
More rare than a first printing that collectors & archivists look for, this is what is known as a make ready—or test sheet—which was run through the press multiple times to test plates for different images.  This East Totem West Poster is
GATES OF EDEN
& OVERPRINTED and is a one of a kind stunning example of sixties psychedelic art.
Please be advised that all overprints are individually unique due to printer silk screen color changes and squeegee pressure.  Some will be more color (green, purple, blue, etc.) dominate due to these variables.  These are test overprints and pictures are represented of the print and not exact due to color variation and lighting condition. Bidding signifies your acceptance of these conditions and the print is sold as is.
This poster is in VG+ condition as shown in the photo.
Look closely as there is a lot going on in the images.
Measures approximately 35" X 23". PSYCHEDELIC DESIGN
