El Correo Grafico poster, January 1965 issue (Spanish pictorial bulletin distributed in San Jose, Costa Rica)
An orange-bordered New Year 1965 Spanish photo bulletin of the U.S. Embassy in Costa Rica with a calendar. A portrait of President Lyndon B. Johnson is the centrepiece, around photos of a Kennedy requiem Mass, the planned Kennedy grave memorial, English-course graduates, a Peace Corps book donation, visiting U.S. professors and a swimming coach. The tell is transfer: mourning for Kennedy and the new president's portrait are linked to the embassy's exchange programmes.
