The original/first
print poster was printed on two distinct paper stocks. One poster
(we will call it Type A) was printed on VERY thin paper stock. It is
easy to identify, as this stock is very delicate. The printing
credit "Wes Wilson '66" appears just to the right of the woman's right hip. This poster measures approx. 13 3/8" X 21". The other poster (we will call it Type B) was printed on a noticeably thicker paper stock. As is the case with the Type A poster, the "Wes Wilson '66" appears on this poster. This poster measures approx. 13 13/8" X 20 3/4". Before you buy a Type B poster, please see the notes on the second print poster. The second print poster, an authorized reprint, was printed on two different paper stocks, both very similar to the Type B first print poster. It can be distinguished from the Type B by examining the "Wes Wilson '66" printing credit. On this poster the "#26" has been scratched into the plate directly after the Wilson credit. This poster measures approx. 13 3/8" X 21", and was printed in early 1967. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE that some of the posters in this run were very heavily inked, making the "#26" unnoticeable. We have also seen posters where someone has taken a black magic marker, and blacked out "#26". Moral of the story, be very careful if you are buying a Type B/first print BG 26 poster. The third print poster, an authorized reprint, was printed on uncoated index stock (thicker stock than any of the previously mentioned posters) that is similar to the stock used to print Fillmore original posters from mid 1967 through the end of 1968 (which is when this poster would have been printed). As with the second print, "#26" appears after the Wilson credit on this poster. This poster measures approx. 13 3/8" X 21". The original handbill was printed prior to the shows on two different paper stocks (matching the Type A & Type B original posters), and measure approx. 5" X 8 1/2". The way these handbills were cut are not consistent throughout the run. Variations do exist. The postcard was printed on two different paper stocks, matching the paper stocks of the second print posters (which were printed at the same time as the cards). As is the case with the handbills, the cards were not consistently cut throughout the run. Variations do exist. One card measures approx. 5" X 8 1/4", the other approx. 5" X 7 1/2". No cards are known to exist that match the paper stock of the third print poster. Bill Graham authorized the printing of all of the Fillmore postcards. |
