Here we have a lot of three original 1960’s head shop posters. These are genuine products of their time and real hand printed lithographs. The sixties saw an explosion in the production of so called “headshop posters” boutique prints incorporating psychedelic imagery and thematic elements including pacifism flower power shamanism and drug culture. This is a largely undiscovered and underappreciated market just waiting for the right collectors to capitalize.

The first poster is absolutely classic 1960’s from the phrase “Love is a Flower a Flower is Love” to the woman’s up hair do and the flower in it. 

Note : The posters in this lot will not be sealed in our  usual certification holder. They are  however covered by our 30 day full return guarantee.
