"Peace" poster, done in 1993, commemorating the only known artwork created collaboratively by the four Beatles. The original artwork was contributed by the Beatles to the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. The artwork was then kept by a private collector who issued the rights to its reproduction to Planet Gear, Inc.
Tom Wilkes of Planet Gear, designed a poster of this Beatles drawing in 1993, which is a tribute to the 1967 Monterey Festival where singers like Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix were just gaining fame.
Written along the side of the drawing are the words "Congratulations Elvis. Say hello to Uncle Stan. How are you Bob". The Beatles also promoted their album of the year "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" on the painting. It is signed "John, Paul, George" and the last signature appears to say "Harold", but it may be Ringo. All signatures look like they were done by one Beatle.
The poster measures 20"x30" with the actual drawing size about 13"x20". The poster background is dark green with white lettering.
