Description
11 1/4 x 16 1/2", offset printed in black on thin yellow paper stock. Single old fold line and some moderate creasing, but near fine. A strikingly designed poster from the early 1980Ős made to protest the ongoing transformation of the Salzgitter area iron ore mine, Schacht Konrad, into a terminal storage area for nuclear waste. The poster is undated, but came from an archive of posters issued in 1982 in Berlin and is most likely from that year, when the planning procedure became public. Despite ongoing challenges, the license for nuclear storage was approved in 2002. The poster features a quote from Einstein. Long a focal point for anti-nuclear protests in Europe, Schacht Konrad was back in the news recently when photographs of parents and children holding a candle-light protest at the site became one of the defining news images of the worldŐs reaction to the anniversary of the Japanese nuclear disasters. Some spotty foxing and staining to wraps, but very good.
