[Anti-War][Vietnam War] "NO MORE WAR". Designed and photographed by Terry and Dennis Newell, 1970. Measures 35" × 16" on offset tan lithographic paper. This monochromatic anti-war poster illustrates three scenes of a man and woman in three stages of their lives. In the first photo, a young girl innocently gifts a young boy flowers on a grassy field. The following image conveys the young girl and boy in their adulthood---dressed in typical 1970's attire---as the woman hands flowers to the man in great despair. As her partner leaves to fight in the war, she is left on the field longing for his return. Yet in the last image, she is left lying flowers atop his coffin, wrapped in the American flag. The Vietnam anti-war movement from 1960-1970 was one of the most pervasive displays of opposition to the government policy in modern times as protests raged all over the country. As a result, posters like these were just one of the mediums used to highlight anti-war narratives. Five inch tear on the top margin, minorly affecting the title text. Signs of foxing and discoloration to due to age, otherwise in very good condition. (Inventory #: 19063)
