[PROMOTIONAL FLYER]. Hells Angels Raffle for Dirty Dick's Chopper

[PROMOTIONAL FLYER]. Hells Angels Raffle for Dirty Dick's Chopper [San Francisco: Free Print Shop. 1968.]

Single sheet (215 x 132 mm), printed on one side in red and black; lower right corner with minimal creasing; one tiny tear in top right corner (neither affecting the image).

Printed advertisement, exceedingly rare, for the raffle of Dirty Dick's 1959 Harley, organised by San Francisco Hells Angels.

This was the first publication by the Free Print Shop, started by Irving Rosenthal, co-founder of the Sutter Street Commune, and several members of the San Francisco Diggers, the anarchist arts group who promoted a vision of a society free of private property. It printed the flyer for no charge. As Rosenthal notes in the Free Print Shop's own journal: " The Free Print Shop opened officially in August [1968], and our first print job was a flyer for a Hells Angels raffle of Dirty Dick's chopper, to benefit his widow. In those days we printed for any group or event that was non-profit and had reasonably good vibes." ("Deep Tried Frees", Kaliflower, New Series (N.S.) 3, April 30, 1978).
