American Political System exhibit poster (Chinese poster distributed in Taipei)
A Chinese-language blank exhibit poster. Three yellow line drawings of government buildings, including a domed Capitol-style building, sit on a teal ground, with two blank boxes marked for the time and place to be filled in locally. The red title announces an illustrated exhibition on the American system of government. The tell is transfer: familiar monumental buildings stand in for the whole constitutional system.
