" Bertha " Skeleton & Roses Ultra-Creative & Eye-Catching design take ( (c) 1980 Kelley / Mouse / G.D.P. ) on the Legendary ! Mouse / Kelley FD-26 Poster from 1966 ... commonly known as " Bertha Skeleton & Roses " - widely respected as one of the two most-vital images in Grateful Dead History ... with obviously, the Bob Thomas / Owsley Stanley " Steal Your Face " image being the other.  Personally, I always liked to refer to this design-image of Bertha as the ' Electric-Keyhole ' Bertha, since the Mouse / Kelley designed outer-border image much resembles a Psychedelic type image of viewing Bertha through the mouth of a Keyhole !  Pretty-cool, right ?  Ha !  Well, you know ... at least I always thought.  And ... the design on the Shirt back features the Amazing ! Ultra-Colorful & Way-Cool Wordly " Mother Earth ! " image of Bertha in a circle - Smiling ! beneath both !! Europe '72 Foot & Rainbow imagery, and that of Egypt '78 - with the Hopi Indian Mask ! inner-image centered in the middle of the Wings !  " Grateful Dead " at the top, designed in Egypt-esque font, two pots of Rainbow-Gold ! - and last, but most certainly not-least ... at the Shirt bottom : " What A Long Strange Trip It's Been 1965-1981 " ... W.A.L.S.T.I.B !!!  On naturally ... a ' Black ' Screen Stars brand Rock & Roll Concert style Shirt.  I've always like to call this Incredible ! '81 Image ... " Bertha ! ... She's Been All Around This World !! ".  Quite-fitting, right ?  I say ...  This is a Dead Shirt among all Dead-Shirts ! which has successfully avoided any significant ravages of either Time ! - or Space !! ... while this " Bertha " Rock & Roll Beauty here ? ... is Most Definitely One-of " The !
