A RARE PINK 'PLANT A FLOWER CHILD' 1967 POSTER, designed by Martin Sharp and Robert Whittaker, with 'Special Surprise' Oz magazine issue 5 printed on the reverse, 114 x 77cm Oz issue 5 was published as a fold-out poster in an ingenious, but ultimately unsuccessful, attempt to circumvent the Wilson government's introduction of a purchase tax levied on magazines, but not on posters. Three versions were printed - one pink, one yellow and one black and white with a sepia tint - before Oz reverted to the original format for issue 6. Illustrated on inside front and back covers of the book 'The British Underground Press of the Sixties' by James Birch and Barry Miles, Rocket Books 2017.
