Pictorial Magazine poster, 65-74: Ranger 7 Moon photos (Amharic, Addis Ababa)
An Amharic photo sheet headed 'Pictorial Magazine' with the headline that Ranger 7 took photographs of the Moon. A rocket lifts off at left, six close-up lunar frames fill the centre and right, and the bottom row shows a lunar frame beside an aerial view of a house and a photograph of President Johnson viewing the images. The tell is card-stacking: successes are shown through selected pictures and a presidential viewing.
