1970. 12 1/2" x 16 3/4". Isle of Wight Festival Poster. NEAR FINE. SIGNED by artist John Wright, #105/150. NEAR FINE, small tear to bottom edge.

An unofficial, “alternative”, festival poster, commissioned by Duplicating with a Difference, and designed by freelance artist John Wright (with an instruction for it to be designed “as psychedelic as possible”). Apparently over 1,000 were printed, however, only a few were actually sold. Many more were accidentally destroyed that weekend, but 150 copies survived; stashed away by the designer, and forgotten about, until they were rediscovered twenty years later.
