This New Penelope concert poster is a good example of the 1960s posters inspired by psychedelic design: intertwined illustrations, kaleidoscopic motifs, bright colours, ornate typography and sensual female representations. This one was designed by local artist Peter V. Adams, who also signed many other New Penelope posters.
