[Buffalo]: [Gallery Upstairs Press], 1968. First edition. 21 1/4 x 28 1/2", offset lithograph on thick cardboard stock. With rubberstamped facsimile of McClure's signature at verso. Visual reproduced from McClure's distinctive holograph in red, overlayed onto a found image of two lions roaring at the sea - a legend readng "Security and Trust" can be read at the foot of the image, perhaps indicating that this was appropriated from an old advertisement or bond. We wish we knew more about this gallery, located at 3400 Main St. in Buffalo, which also published John Wieners' Pressed Wafers, as well as a work by Cornelius Cardew. One of the most beautiful broadsides of the era. Several strong creases, with some minor soiling, with a couple small chips to margins slightly affecting image, but the recto presents well. Toning and several tears to verso. Very good.
