Slightly curled from being rolled, otherwise quite bright and clean. A photomontage poster, dominated by the figure of Allen Ginsberg, with smaller images of hippies, peace protesters, and others

The ‘Be-In’ was apparently attended by between twenty and thirty thousand people, partly to protest against the banning of LSD in California announced in 1966, but it has also been seen as a transitional event between the ‘beat’ and ‘hippie’ generations (Wikipedia)
