The title of this Family Dog poster number#125 is, Alice Jaundice which is a reference to the fact that this portrait was drawn from a 19th century photograph of her as a teenager. Alice was the daughter of a British university don and had been part of the Victorian intellectual scene from early childhood. As this portrait by Julia Cameron, a prominent Victorian photographer captures, she was apparently quite charismatic, very poised and self-confident and capable of defending her ideas quite assertively. Due to this strong trait unusual for a Victorian child or woman at the time, it is said that she had three proposals of marriage before she was twelve years old! By the time this photo was taken she was already part of circle of women intellectuals and artists which history has chosen largely to forget because the Victorian era was one of substantial repression of women. Perhaps that is true for then, but we remember her NOW on this, Poster From The Past. It was on this day 46 years ago back in 1968, that the The Youngbloods, Its a Beautiful Day, and Santana Blues Band played a fantastic show at the Avalon Ballroom right here in San Francisco. This rock poster was done by a collaboration of the two artists David Warren and L Kent Hollister. This was the only piece either one did in the entire Family Dog series and it was printed only once.
