[Washington, D.C.]: U.S. Secretariat, International Book Year, 1972, 1972. First edition. 22x18" screen printed in pink and blue on opaque Mylar. Few superficial scuffs, mainly to lower margin. Very good. Will ship rolled.

Very scarce original poster from the UESCO-designated IBY 1972, promoting American participation in the observance.  The initiative sought to emphasize the importance of books and literacy in education and culture, as well as the social role of all those involved in publishing - from authors to printers, booksellers, libraries, etc.  The U.S. Secretariat operated from roughly 1971, in the planning phase, through 1973 following the observance.

The image on this poster was generated on computer at Dolphin Productions, Inc., a New York-based animation house that produced some of the earliest computer animation and graphics in the U.S.   It was printed by Auto Screen/Lehigh Inc. on mylar supplied by Arkwright Interlaken.
