Description

One of the most ubiquitous items of the 1960s and 1970s, the black light poster represented some of the most imaginative, colorful, and "out there" creativity of the period; Ultraviolet is the first book to ever celebrate this alternative art form. Daniel Donahue, an amateur historian of counterculture, has collected hundreds of vintage blacklight posters and chosen 69 of the best for this volume. Covering some of the more relevant subjects of the period, including Sex, Drugs, Rock ’N’ Roll, Earth Awareness, Black Power, and Astrology, Ultraviolet has been printed with flourescent inks so that the pages will actually glow under black light. This hip volume is a gift from the fifth dimension for anyone interested in alternative culture or graphic design.

I loved this book.
A lot of psicodelic pictures in high resolution just perfect for a dark light.

Enjoy ;-D

Summary: "Bright and Colorful"

If you like bright, neon, day-glo colors and 70's style posters then this is a fun collection that is well produced. It's an oblong format and the printing is amazing. I don't have a black light but these posters are still very vibrant and this comes highly recommended.

Summary: "Beautiful art from an era long passed"

This book is simply a must have if you have any interest in ultraviolet psychedelic posters from the decades gone past. The quality of the binding is tops, and the colours literally leap off the page out at you, with even a nice (yet unexpected) foreword by MGMT. I highly recommend perusing it under a black light as well, you mind will quite simply, never be the same again...
