Fillmore West 9/12-14/68

The “Heart and Torch” poster is one of the masterworks by Rick Griffin. It features his typical bold graphics and signature lettering. The poster advertised a show by Santana and Big Brother & The Holding Company shortly before Janis Joplin left the band. This poster was printed only once, and as such, is quite scarce today.

The original poster was printed on uncoated index stock and measures approximately 14″ x 22″.

The postcard comes in two varieties, both of which measure approximately 4⅝″ x 7″:

The Type A card has a “place stamp here” reverse.

The Type B card has a calendar of Bill Graham events on the back.

A double postcard was also printed. This card bears the images of both BG-136 and 137 and measures approximately 7″ x 9¼″. It has a bulk rate permit on the back. In addition, some copies were addressed and mailed to people on the mailing list.
