Ramparts was a San Francisco-based magazine that ran from 1962 to 1975 and became one of the most visually aggressive publications of the American left. It broke major stories on the Vietnam War and the CIA while commissioning illustration and cover art that matched its editorial ambition, drawing on the same Bay Area talent pool that was reshaping graphic design in the late 1960s. The period originals from this run are rare documents of a moment when political journalism and counterculture design were genuinely the same project.
