An original cardboard promo stand-up plugging Bob Dylan in general which was issued in mid-1965 between his landmark albums Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited, putting it in a hallowed timeframe that's as untouchable as any period in Dylan's career. Columbia used this image in other manners as well, such as print advertisements and in paper form with promo copies of the Highway 61 Revisited album, so it's generally tied a little closer to that record and the second half of '65.

It's been said that in 1965 Dylan was considered by hipsters as the coolest person on the planet, and this artwork - credited only to "Lambert" in the lower left - displays all of the charisma that Dylan's always had. You just can't beat the look he had in mid-'65 with those dark glasses and (sometimes) polka-dot shirts. Dylan had not been worn down by drugs yet and was just inventing a new musical form called folk-rock.

Measures 17 5/8" x 23 3/4" (44.5 x 60 cm). Some light creasing and scattered stains, rear standee cardboard separated and repaired with tape, else fine.
