You are bidding on a Rare 1970s Vietnam Anti-War Poster. To say that the artwork had an impact is an understatement, it became one of the most famous poster works from the Vietnam era.By November of 1969, Americans began to hear of the My Lai massacre . Life magazine published Ronald Haeberle's gruesome color photos and the chilling images sent shockwaves around the world. The peace movement heightened its appeals to end the war. In 1970 the Art Workers Coalition (AWC -a group of progressive New York artists), responded to events by designing a remarkable poster titled, " Q: And Babies? A: And Babies ." An anonymous creation at the time, the 24 x 35 inch poster was actually designed collaboratively by artists Frazer Dougherty, Irving Petlin, and Jon Hendricks. The poster used text from an interview by CBS reporter Mike Wallace with Paul Meadlo -a participant in the bloodbath, combined with a photo of My Lai's butchered Vietnamese peasants taken by Haeberle. Some minor wear on edges Please see photos for condition.
