Overview
A vibrant commemorative poster depicting Bob Marley with his Gibson Les Paul, advertising the historic 1978 One Love Peace Concert in Kingston, Jamaica. It features the legendary lineup including Peter Tosh and Jacob Miller against a Rasta-themed gradient background.
Story
On April 22, 1978, Bob Marley famously joined the hands of political rivals Michael Manley and Edward Seaga on stage. This act of musical diplomacy attempted to end a bloody civil war. This poster captures the spirit of that miraculous night.
Maker / Origin
While the original 1978 promotional materials were often printed locally in Jamaica on heavy cardstock, this specific design is a popular commemorative version produced for fans and collectors in the decades following Marley's death to celebrate his global legacy.
Condition & Value
The poster appears to be in good condition with no major tears or visible water damage. The 'staining' on the edges is part of the printed design. The frame provides good structural support. Excellent condition for a decorative piece.
