The accompanying letter states that this poster was originally a gift from Manny Greenhill, Joan Baez's manager, in 1965. In her autobiography And A Voice To Sing With, Baez recalls...we made plans to sing together in a short concert tour of the States in March and April of 1965. Manny was in charge of the poster, which we both had to okay. The billing was to be exactly equal, and a design by Eric Von Schmidt was finally agreed upon which had Bob's head a little higher than mine, and my name a little higher than his...we were something of a phenomenon, packing houses and getting rave reviews....we were a big deal, and we were taken to meet the Beatles.
