# Al Hayat fi Amrika No. 30 promotion poster (Arabic poster distributed in Beirut)

A landscape promotion sheet for issue 30 of 'Life in America'. A colour photograph of a horse in silhouette against a dusky sky is set beside text announcing an Arabian horse show in the Arizona desert, plus articles on American youth, a look at Islam in its spirit and sacred things, and 'When I Came to America', and a large colour map of the United States. The tell is glittering generalities: an admired animal and a list of topics sell the issue; the Islam item is addressed to the Arabic-reading audience.
