About This Item
Large poster executed in diazotype process with texts and images showing equivalencies in military and civilian spending. 24.5 x 33 in. Very good, old central fold. Loose as issued. [1519]
A fascinating work of graphic art produced by Architects and Planners Against the War, an organization with chapters in New York and the Bay Area that sought to organize professionals in architecture and city planning against U.S. involvement in Vietnam. The group has cited by architectural historian Brian D. Goldstein for its further engagement with the Black Power movement to decry so-called "urban renewal," the government-backed clearance and reconstruction of American cities in the postwar period. We cannot locate another example of the work.
