Vintage Anti Vietnam War Handmade Protest Banner that says 'Save the Fox, Save the Geese, Let Us Live in Lasting Peace' made by a Colorado woman. Interesting that she used the 'Save the Fox, Save the Geese' quilting pattern and then poeticized the name into a protest. Size is a large 18" × 35.75" not including the ribbons. [From previous post] I have not been able to wrap my head totally around these as they are by different artists and I guess they tied one to another with the tassels at the ends. What I was told by the seller who bought these and more out of an estate: "They were actually used in a protest at the capitol in Colorado. A group of women from all over Colorado got together, tied them together and circled the capitol. I purchased the lot from one of the organizers Estate from the daughter. They were protesting the war and Nixon. Amazing history preserved!" So atypical from other protest signs. Will show the other two soon.
Very nice, my epistle to Hippie Friends !
