Art / Print / Poster First Edition
24p., 11.5x17.5 inches, tabloid underground newspaper on newsprint with psychedelic illustrations, horizontal fold, otherwise very good. Second issue of the new series of Oracle newspapers published out of Larkspur (in Marin County) after the original City of San Francisco Oracle was laid to rest in 1968. It was more focused on spiritual teachings and teachers, although it also had considerable poetry. A review of the Three Pillars of Zen anthology by Mansur O. Johnson in the issue is dated Nov. 29, 1968, while the color front cover design has an intertwined 6 and 9 at its center, thus we've tentatively dated it 1968-1969. Most of note in the issue is a full-page comic by Jim Osborne, "Forgotten Godzz", and front cover & page 6 full-page design by rock poster artist Bob Schnepf. Also a two-page spread of quotes from Ali Akbar Khan with large photo of him, a full-page calligraphic poem by Paul Reps, and article on Capricorn by astrologer Gavin Arthur (part of the original Oracle circle).

First Edition
Original 14.5" x 19.5" poster for a performance by the Oakland Ballet directed by Ronn Guidi, with visuals by Fred Berensmeier (presumably of the psychedelic variety), and musical accompaniment: harp, percussion, vibes, xylophone, bass, piano, and sitar. We could find no information about the performance or this poster, although the artist Bob Schnepf is significant. Fine with pinholes at tips, creasing along top edge, old pencil price on verso, wear along edge at bottom left corner, very faint dampstaining visible on verso of left edge. An attractive psychedelic poster for a Bay Area multimedia event.
