Rare Color Photographs of Hippie Peddlers on the Streets of New York City in the Late 1960s _ US-LGT
We’re not sure what the criteria was to be labelled a Hippy in LIFE magazine, perhaps it was having a hairstyle that was over two inches long, as some of these street vendors from a photo set titled Hippie Peddlers don’t look like hippies.
Despite this, here are some great photos of people selling their wares on the streets of America in the late 1960s (maybe early ’70s). These rare and unpublished photographs were taken by Yale Joel, an original staff member of LIFE magazine.
