Product description
A 1965 concert poster, known as “the Seed”, with Charlatans on the bill in Virginia City, NV.
About this 1965 concert poster
Concert posters were made to promote a single show, which is why so few originals survive. The Charlatans were one of the first bands of the San Francisco psychedelic scene. This poster advertised a 1965 show. The late 1960s saw a boom in psychedelic poster art, with swirling hand-drawn lettering and clashing colours. Promoters like Bill Graham and Chet Helms commissioned a new poster for almost every weekend of shows. Some 1960s concert posters were designed so the lettering was deliberately hard to read, inviting a second look.
Styling this vintage concert poster
This 1965 poster for Charlatans brings a slice of 1960s music history to the wall. Hang it at eye level, about 57 inches (145 cm) to its centre; 18×24″ is a versatile size for most walls. A black or antique-gold frame suits this vintage concert poster well and keeps the focus on the image. For a gallery wall, pair this vintage concert poster with two or three smaller prints, spaced 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) apart. Keep this vintage concert poster out of strong direct sunlight to protect its colours.
