This Must Be The Place!.

Offset color lithograph poster, 1965. 629x452 mm; 24 3/4x17 3/4 inches (sheet), full margins. Published by the National Cartoonist Society, New York. An early, poster edition before the Leo Castelli Gallery-published print.

According to Corlett, "An undated NCS (National Cartoonists Society) press release (found in the New York Public Library clipping files) indicates that the image was published first as a poster by the society; shortly thereafter the Leo Castelli Gallery republished the image as a print," p. 272.
