Original 1st printing 24 x 24" event poster for the 10/21/1967 "Levitate the Pentagon" anti-Vietnam War protest/rally/event held at the Pentagon in Washington, DC.
Designer unknown/not credited, medium thin flat vellum stock poster is in excellent (B+) condition; there is a 3/4" tear in the lower right margin, along with a few soft edge bends/light creases and a tiny nick or two scattered around the outer margin area and a couple of stray handling dings/hairline-thin stress bends hiding within the image area, otherwise it is a FANTASTIC-looking example of this oddball late-'67 event poster with a wild mandala design (in the shape of the Pentagon) featuring images of Allen Ginsberg, Uncle Sam, a holy man, mushroom clouds and a skull and crossbones... a very powerful image.
