DescriptionThis is one of three faux travel advertisements that appeared as inserts to the Push Pin Graphic number 52, an issue dedicated to the theme of posters. Each poster is double sided, featuring excerpts from the classic texts referenced in the images, including Homer’s Odyssey, L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and Dante’s Inferno. The passages specifically describe moments in the stories when the characters are in a drug-induced state, reflecting the psychedelic overtones of that month’s publication.On View
