This poster was created and printed in 1968 for the exhibition The Magic of a People, 6 April - 6 October 1968, at the Hemisfair World's Fair in San Antonio. The exhibition centered around Alexander Girard's vast personal collection of folk art and toys collected from across South America.
The print measures 83 cm × 63.5 cm (approximately 32.7" h × 24.8" w) and an identical copy is a part of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection.
Very rare poster - last one on eBay sold for $750
but this one isn't in quite as good condition,
with some moisture damage along bottom edge.
