Daily Book Graphics #1260

©1972, revised edition 1973 / This is my father's book from the time that he was making films and teaching film in the early seventies. The blue lines on the black graphic are his markings and not part of the design. 

Among the notes stuffed into the book is the one below in which my father has written out the time and place of a Students for McGovern Meeting to Organize for final weeks of Campaign. This was from October of 1972, a year ahead of the publication of this edition of the book. It must have been stuck in there at some later point as a bookmark.

McGovern 72

Readers who have been following this blog for a while, know that I have been mining my family's collection of poorly stored and archived posters from the 1970's, blog posts here and here, Flickr set here. The above McGovern posters are student made screen prints, they aren't very good but they are interesting as documents of the visual culture of 1972. They seem pretty basic compared to last year's torrent of Obama related art and design. My father was an art history professor at the time, and was probably given these by a student. He's in the poster below.
