Underground Graphics / Graham Keen & Michel Larue / 1970 / Academy Editions

"We are the people our parents warned us against."

First printing of the  counterculture bible of art and  graphic design in the very rare hardback edition. This iconic book brings together a superb contemporaneously curated collection of imagery from OZ, International Times, Gandalf's Garden and psychedelic posters for gatherings, events and gigs. The artwork is often reduced to two colours and printed on a multicoloured selection of sugar paper to entrancing effect.

Features the work of Martin Sharp, John Hurford, Michael English, Alan Aldridge, Jeff Nuttall et al. A momentous tribute to the outburst of visual creativity and design innovation of the late 1960s.

First edition. Hardback with dust jacket. 200 pages illustrated throughout in one, two and three-colour. 

Condition: A very good copy with light wear to spine and dust jacket. There is 1" tear to the top of the spine at the front and the dust jacket has chips missing to the front and back. The boards are otherwise very solid and the interiors wonderfully preserved with just light age-related yellowing to page edges.
