Free World (Jayu Segye) poster, Vol. 14 No. 2 (Korean, Seoul)
A Korean-language sales poster for the magazine Free World (Jayu Segye), Vol. 14 No. 2. A colour photograph of a man in traditional court-musician dress beside a drum and gong is captioned 'Korea's court musician', with the price per copy, the annual subscription and a Seoul distributor's address. The tell is transfer: Korean cultural pride is attached to the magazine, with plain-folks appeal in an everyday cover subject. The poster promotes a title and states no political message.
