Designed by Dana Franzen for A Yipster Times Publication. The poster was a center-fold insert advertising a protest parade in New York City against the Reagan Administration's policies on cannabis. The march was to start at 11 A.M. May 5, 1984 at Washington Square Park.

Verso with a black and white poster for "Rock Against Racism."

Ships folded as issued.Dana Franzen was a counterculture illustrator whose marijuana-legalization posters combined underground-comix imagery with pointed political satire. His documented designs include the 1982 White House Smoke-In poster, depicting Ronald and Nancy Reagan with cannabis imagery, and the 1985 “Rally Against Reefer Madness—Stop the Witch Hunt!” poster, targeting drug enforcement and police brutality. His work appeared as centerfold posters in Overthrow, formerly Yipster Times. These related works provide context for the present poster’s attribution to Franzen, although this unsigned example remains attributed rather than confirmed.

Beautiful hand coloring enhances the attractiveness of this scarce and fine engraving. Two sheets professionally joined. <br></br> This chart was printed in 1889 from an electrotype copy of the original hand-engraved copper plate, a process the U.S. Coast Survey adopted around 1850. As a soft medium, copper plates could only withstand print runs of perhaps 200 copies before the plates wore down. To enable larger print runs, a mold of the original plate was created in wax or another soft medium. Then, using an electro-chemical process ( electrotyping ), the mold was coated with a metal layer, typically copper. Printers were then able to produce output from the new electrotype copper copy, while preserving the original. Electrotype copy number 3. <br></br> With the circular logo of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. Tables of lighthouses and lightships. Two inset coastal elevation views. Scale 1/40,000. Chart number 369. Published August, 1889. Plate number 1987. Price when issued: 75 cents.

A direction may be a simple compass bearing, or a precise orientation determined by accurate survey methods. The term "bounds" refers to a more general boundary description, such as along a certain watercourse, a stone wall, an adjoining public road way, or an existing building.
