1978 David Lance Goines Poster for the University of California School of Optometry

Berkeley, CA: St. Hieronymus Press, 1978. 1st Edition. Very Good. Item #19153

A striking David Lance Goines poster printed by Goines himself at his St. Hieronymus Press for the dedication of a new building for the Cal School of Optometry.

The poster features 22 different animals or insects, cleverly arranged in the form of an eye chart.

Goines became famous due to his association with Alice Waters, owner of the iconic Berkeley restaurant, Chez Panisse. Goines produced his first poster for the restaurant in 1972 and many more followed.

Goines had enjoyed a friendship with the restaurateur Alice Waters since they were both teenagers, and became her boyfriend in 1966. Every year Goines created a Chez Panisse anniversary poster and has illustrated many Chez Panisse cookbooks. He also designed the logotype and lettering for a number of Berkeley-based businesses, past and present, including Velo-Sport (a bicycle store) and the Scharffen Berger Chocolate Company.

Mild age toning along edges.

This beautiful piece measures approximately 24" X 16 1/2" and is perfect for framing and display.
