Burma-America Friendship poster, No. 3 (Burmese, distributed in Rangoon)
A Burmese-language photo-montage poster under a red banner headline. Eight captioned black-and-white photographs show exchange and visit scenes: a presentation before Burmese and U.S. flags, a newspaper linotype room, press cameras, two uniformed officers shaking hands, men in conversation, students seated on a stage floor, two broadcasters at a 'U.N. Radio' microphone, and young women at a table. The tell is transfer with plain-folks: goodwill of everyday exchanges and visits is attached to the two countries' relationship.
