# NATO 1949-1959: Kuzey Atlantik Antlaşması Teşkilâtı (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) (Turkish poster distributed in Turkey)

A cream poster for NATO's tenth anniversary, 1949 to 1959, with the NATO compass star ringed by member flags, over the Turkish words 'Peace, liberty, social progress, security' and 'means'. The tell is glittering generalities: four virtue words stand in for any testable claim about what the alliance does, while the star and flags attach member symbols to the message.
