Original 1968 PEACE Poster

The American Ben Shahn (1898-1969) was a noted Left-wing artist. This poster is in support of Eugene McCarthy, the US Senator for Minnesota. In 1968, at a time of increasing military activity in South East Asia, McCarthy - a strong opponent of the Vietnam War - challenged President Lyndon Johnson in the Democrats' presidential nominations. Johnson stood down, but McCarthy did not gain the nomination. The eventual presidential campaign was won by the Republican leader, Richard Nixon.


Poster is original and in good condition with some wear, tears and dirt at the top. the back has been taped where the poster has tears. (see last 3 pictures) rest of the poster is very good.
