Summary
Children often store pencils, crayons, paste, scissors, and other small school supplies in boxes kept in their desks or lockers. This box from the early 1970s contains colorful designs, fonts, and motifs -- toned-down versions from the counterculture and psychedelic art movements -- typical of the time. Other period references stress popular environmental issues, such as "Keep America Beautiful" and "Knock Out Litterbugs."
