# Photos d'Actualité poster, No. 4 (French, Beirut)

A French fold-out photo sheet with a fisheye view of the UN General Assembly hall and four captioned stories: Presidents Johnson and Kaunda exchanging portraits, a Guinean woman modelling Kennedy and Lincoln cloth, the opening of the African Development Bank in Lagos and Martin Luther King, Jr., receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. The tell is card-stacking: successes and honours are selected, and the presidential portraits and the Nobel scene transfer prestige to the sheet.
