vintage blacklight poster Enjoy c.1970 | Happiest Kid Finds

Rare black and red psychedelic graphic featuring The Zig-Zig man logo with the text ENJOY under the portrait. 

This isn't just some ordinary headshop poster; it comes from significant historic pedigree. Zig-Zig is a brand of fine cigarette rolling papers, a Paris-based company founded in 1855 by Maurice and Jacques Braunstein. The history behind the iconic logo, known as the Zig-Zag man, was inspired by a tale from "the battle of Sevastopol. When the soldier's clay pipe was destroyed by a bullet, he attempted to roll his tobacco using a piece of paper torn from a musket cartridge."

Condition

Fair to good — used poster. Pin-holes at the corners; creases and tears with visible pigment loss to the tears and creases, and along the edges. There are also signs of surface wear and minor scratches common with silk screen posters, since the matte pigment rests on the surface of the paper, it is therefore more susceptible to handling imperfections.
