  Haight is love : summer is a love in-here

  Visual Materials

  A color offset lithograph announcing the Summer of Love movement held in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district. In psychedelic font, the text reads, "Haight is love: summer is a love-in here." Most of the text is in a bold green color set against a red-and-orange background. The word "love" is overlaid in black-and-white with details from Jost Amman's woodcut, "Quibus eo sane, Ordine Doctrina..." (1572). The word "is" in the title is centered by mirroring purple-and-green decorative images of a nude man and woman in an embrace. The bottom left of the print includes the date of copyright and reads, "UFO Posters. 1608 Haight Street. San Francisco, Calif." Bottom right includes an image of the Lithographers and Photoengravers International Union (LPIU) emblem and text that reads "Printed by Double-H Press." Signed by the artist, John Dolley [Dulley?] on the right of the image.
