Small poster that has a yellow border around a blue background. In the center is an older woman wearing a yellow and green polka dot shirt, red shawl, and red head scarf holding a yellow sign. The sign has "Avalon Ballroom Sutter Van Ness" printed in black. The poster reads, "A Magic Show/ Big Brother & The Holding - Co./ Canned Heat Blues Band/ June 8 -9 -10 -11/ Lights the North American IBIS Alchemical Co./ Plus the Congress of Wonders." Bottom edge has ticket outlets printed in small text. This poster features an image that can be seen as a racist caricature of an Aunt Jemima figure rendered with a monkey-like face. [LMC]
