Item Description
17x22". A simple and bold design featuring two rifles with scopes. A stark contrast to the popular 'peace' culture that dominated the era. Our consignor believes he obtained this from members of the Weatherman around 1970. The only other example of this poster we are aware of was attributed to the Black Panther Party though we can find no reference to it in any Panther publications. It serves as an interesting cross over between the ideals of each group and is a remarkable counter-culture artifact regardless of affiliation. Printed on very thin paper that has very light brown spots of toning on the bottom half. Areas of thinness at the corners and top/bottom center likely from being taped to a wall. Vertical fold at center and minor overall handling wear. VF. Rare. Milo Pyne Collection.
