"The Seed" is the first rock poster of the Psychedelic Era. Inspired by a 1914 advertisement for the “Great Kar-Mi Troupe,” an Edwardian Era vaudeville act that promised to perform at “The Limit of the Marvelous,” the 10-by14-inch flyer was designed by Charlatans keyboardist Mike Ferguson and bandmate George Hunter. It advertised their band’s six-week, acid-soaked run at the Red Dog Saloon in Virginia City, Nevada, during the summer of 1965.

10"x14". Screen printed poster from the original, Mike Ferguson and George Hunter, The Seed, 1965
