1969 60"x36" 7Up UnCola "UnCanny In Cans" vintage poster by John Alcorn (pre-Woodstock) #7Upvintage
11/13/14: It has a couple of tiny stains on the bottom left edge, but other than that, it's in MINT condition with no need for repair anywhere.
John Alcorn's signature can be seen in the bottom center light tan colored band.
Check out the "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" psychedelic eyes and the peace dove. Vietnam War protests were building up across the country at the time this was illustrated.
This 60"x36" Size "B" cost $1.50 in 1972.
In 1969 a set of (4) smaller 34"x21" Size "C" "Fallpaper" posters, including this Alcorn image could be purchased for ONE DOLLAR! Contact me if you are interested in acquiring one of those sets in absolutely MINT condition. Some came to me still in the original postmarked mailing tube from The Seven Up Company. Serious inquires only, please.

The 21'x10' billboard version of this, and the 3 other Fallpaper images (all 4 are in my collection) lined U.S. highways during the summer of 1969 just before the famous Woodstock Festival in August of '69.
