The feature article of this issue is an early piece done by cultural critic and icon, Jill Johnston: "DANCE: Cunningham In Connecticut." (see images) This is certainly a fine original printing to have for those who collect Johnston-related material.
Also included is a front page cartoon by Pulitzer Prize winning author and satirical cartoonist Jules Feiffer.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
It is worth noting that "The Village Voice" was an American news and culture paper, known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. Founded in 1955, the Voice began as a platform for the creative community of New York City.
Complete in 12 pages, never bound nor trimmed, tabloid-size, occasional margin-edge tears, a soft crease across the center (i.e., it has been folded at the centerfold - as is typical), very nice condition.
Provenance note: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive.
Alert: Many issues of The Village Voice contain articles and/or photos which some consider offensive, and are certainly inappropriate for children. Please purchase with discretion.
