# All American Big Brass Band poster, 65-2 (English-French poster distributed in Beirut)

A bilingual announcement for Paul Taubman and his All American Big Brass Band, set in red and black. A curved red sweep carries a column of drawn brass and woodwind instruments, a small conductor figure stands at lower right, and the imprint says the band is a presentation of the U.S. Department of State. The tell is transfer: the standing of an American musical act and of the Department is attached to the performance itself.
