Advertising Free World magazine poster (Korean poster distributed in Seoul)
A bookshop notice for the magazine Free World (Jayu Segye). A colour photograph shows a woman in a cap applying white slip to an incised vase, with finished vases behind her. The text says the magazine will shortly be on sale at the shop, at 10 won a copy or 100 won a year. The tell is glittering-generalities: the masthead 'Free World' and a craft scene stand in for any statement of what the magazine contains.
