01

Artifact Overview

Hip Products, a Chicago-based company, produced and distributed black light posters, cards, and other materials -- incense, candles, pipes, etc. -- in the late 1960s and early 1970s. This Christmas card glows in ultraviolet light produced by a black light. The card's design, sentiment, and the envelope's peace symbol embodied the youth-infused counterculture movement of the period.
