Al Hayat fi Amrika No. 35 promotion poster (Arabic poster distributed in Beirut)

A promotion sheet for issue 35 of the Arabic-language magazine 'Life in America'. A colour photograph shows the silhouette of a rider on a horse against a large low sun; another shows a blonde woman in a blue shirt in profile beside a blue-and-red painting of a figure. The listed contents are open-air art, a Texas story, a mission to Mars and tennis, with issue promised for early June. The tell is glittering generalities: attractive subjects and colour images are used to sell the issue.
