Condition: Fine (B+) some tears and cracking, backed on linen. Sheet size: 31.25 H.

This is the second edition with the map of Salinas replaced by the silhouettes of cowboys and wagons on either side of the "sweetheart of the rodeo" at the top center. You may recognize this famed rodeo figure from the Byrds 1968 Pop/Rock classic "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" album cover.
