Original Australian poster for The Freedom Riders featuring Wayne Lynch and George Greenough. Excluding the endorsement, title and surfers, the design of the poster has little to connect it with surfing itself. The title, apart from appropriating the name of the Civil Rights marches of the 1960s in America and Australia, demonstrates the niche that surfing occupied in the counterculture movements up to the mid-1970s in Australia and America or as Albie Thoms identified ". the enormous shift that was taking place in surfing as a result of the fortunes beginning to be made by the manufacturers of surfing equipment and apparel." Poster measures 76 x 34cms. Fine. Rolled. Seller Inventory # 48823
