In the late 1960s a new type of poster emerged around the world, consisting of decorative ephemera; a by-product of the flower people, peace movement and student protests. This larger-than-life crime fighter would have suffered the same fate as the million other images printed at the time: they disappeared, being thrown away, ripped apart or kept in very poor condition. Paradoxically that now qualifies this image as 'rare.' Estimate $500-750"
UPDATE: Lot 190 sold for $1,300
