DescriptionThompson for Sheriff, 1970 (Aspen Wall Poster No. 5).jpg |
English: Election poster promoting Hunter S. Thompson's 1970 run for sheriff of Pitkin County, Colorado. The symbol of a two-thumbed fist with a peyote button represented the so-called "Freak Power" movement, Thompson's self-proclaimed base of support, and was later dubbed the "Gonzo Fist" after "gonzo journalism". Thompson wrote about his campaign in the article "The Battle of Aspen", published in Rolling Stone magazine no. 67 (October 1, 1970). This variation, titled "Aspen Wall Poster No. 5", included a unique "rant" written by Thompson on the reverse side. |

Permission (Reusing this file) |
English: The poster was publicly distributed (i.e., published) prior to 1978 without a copyright notice and, as such, forfeited copyright protection. Note that the reverse side of the poster was also printed with content, but that side did not include a copyright notice either; see link to source, which includes a high-resolution photo of the reverse side.
NOTE: Not every poster in the "Aspen Wall Poster" is in the public domain. Some of the other posters in the series did carry valid copyright notices and thus remain under copyright. For example, high-res scans from Thompson's FBI file (source, via MuckRock) show that Aspen Wall Poster No. 4 included the notice "© June, 1970 Meat Possum Press Ltd.", and Aspen Wall Poster No. 7 had "© January, 1971 Meat Possum Press Ltd."
