About Esoteric Poster Company
In the early 1960’s, as the Haught-Ashbury district was becoming the heart of the San Francisco new age/free love/hippie movement, Howard Morseburg (b. 1924) partnered with Roland Crump, a brilliant and eccentric young artist and designer who became one of the most important Disney “Imagineers.”, to create “Esoteric Poster Company. The intent was to satirize both the world at large and the hippie movement.
Crump was already producing some hand-pulled beatnik posters before he met Morseburg, but once the association began, Morseburg had larger quantities of some of the posters published using the photo-offset process.
As the sixties gathered steam, Morseburg also collaborated with Robert Wendell, a talented young graphic artist and poster designer. It was Wendell who designed this “Buffalo-Spring-Field poster for Esoteric Posters. These are original hand pulled silk screened posters, really akin to fine art production.
About this poster: It was a small run psychedelic poster done by Esoteric posters to celebrate the very short lived (25 months) rock group Buffalo Springfield. That group, though not itself successful, jump started the careers of Neil Young, Bruce Palmer, Dewey Martin, Stephen Stills and Richie Furay. They are all giants in the rock world, most of them in the R and R Hall of Fame.
