1967 Virgo Poster, Zodiac Astrology Star Sign, by Jim Blashfield, Funky Features, San Francisco, Psychedelic, Hippy, wall art decor
Original Jim Blashfield psychedelic Virgo poster from the Astrology Zodiac, one of the twelve star signs commissioned by Jack Leahy (“Funky Jack”), of San Francisco’s Funky Features, in 1967. The poster shows the Earth Mother, holding the harvest of corn in the realm of the Gods.
Apparently if you have a UV light or similar then the poster will glow in luminescence in the right light. That's a different piece of art!
Funky Features was originally a home recording studio in an Edwardian house that quickly became a popular recording location for Big Brother and the Holding Company, Cold Blood, Steve Miller, and others.
Printed in San Francisco by Funky Features.

The words in the NP circle say, "Virgo Abdomen Hands Intestines Ramification".
Virgo (♍︎) is the sixth astrological sign in the Zodiac. It spans the 150–180th degree of the zodiac. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun transits this area on average between August 23 and September 22, and the Sun transits the constellation Virgo from approximately September 16 to October 30. Individuals born during these dates, depending on which system of astrology they subscribe to, may be called Virgos or Virgoans; they are also represented in newspaper horoscopes with other astrological signs. The symbol of the maiden is based on Astraea. In Greek mythology, she was the last immortal to abandon Earth at the end of the Silver Age, when the gods fled to Olympus – hence the sign's association with Earth.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm.
When framed these colourful and detailed posters, with vibrant colours can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.
These posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
