July 16, 1967: Eric Clapton attends the Legalize Cannabis Rally at Speakers Corner, Hyde Park, together with his girlfriend Charlotte Martin (second photo). In the first photo he's surrounded by The Fool design collective, who designed clothes for Cream as well as customise their instruments for the ultimate psychedelic look. The poster was designed by Martin Sharp, who is responsible for the iconic Disraeli Gears cover art and also wrote lyrics for 'Tales of Brave Ulysses' and 'Anyone For Tennis?'

Cover of Oz magazine by Martin Sharp. Issue published on May 3, 1967.

In April 1966, Barry Miles and John Hopkins, launched International Times preceding the launch of Oz Magazine in 1967, a year that became known as “the Summer of Love”. These pioneering newspapers paved the way for a whole host of underground papers and a movement that would go on to form the backbone of British counterculture. [...] Both International Times and Oz Magazine ran against the Fleet Street mainstream media which was, at the time, heavily conservative. Obscenity laws were much stricter at the time meaning the underground papers became the main source for the transmission of ideas. While International Times heavily influenced the editorial stance of newspapers, it was Oz Magazine that brought psychedelic art to the forefront, employing artists and designers who used vibrant colours to create posters, clothes and art installations.  via
