Rare original Rolling Stones poster - once owned by Stones' co-founder Ian Stewart, for their concert scheduled 22 September 1973 at Cardiff and Pembroke Castles in Wales, cancelled by the Welsh authorities so as not to corrupt local youth. As a result of the cancellation, nearly all the posters were destroyed, making it one of the most collectible Stones posters. In addition to using the traditional four-color process to print the poster, designer Kate Burness used silver as a fifth color for lettering and the border, to stunning effect, with reprints lacking the silver finish, and also measuring smaller than the 20'' x 30'' first printing as found here. Poster originates from the collection of early Stones' member Ian Stewart, accompanied by an autograph note signed by Stewart on The Mobile Studio Limited stationery. Light creasing, mostly confined to margins; overall very good plus condition, displaying beautifully with bright colors.
