Epikaira Illustrated monthly poster, No. 93 (Greek, Athens, April 1957)
A Greek-language photo-news sheet, the April 1957 issue (93) of the monthly 'Epikaira Eikonografimena', laid out as a grid of captioned photographs. It pairs Greek Independence Day with the eighth anniversary of NATO and adds photographs of the President signing a Middle East measure, a Greek labour delegation and U.S. military training. The tell is card-stacking: the sheet gives only items favourable to the United States and its Greek and NATO partners, and it transfers the standing of allies and ceremonies onto U.S. policy.
