THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York, Aug. 2, 1962
* Washington Square Park cartoon map by JAF
* Greenwich Village, Lower Manhattan, New York City
The front page has a cartoonish map by Village Voice cartoonist JAF. (see images) Also a heading: "Practical Man's Guide To Washington Square" which is a guide to the park with the numbers within the map coordinates with the article. Text continues on a inside page.
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 20 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, 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. Rare as such.
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.
