# Scientific Century Supplement poster, No. 1, back (Korean-English poster distributed in Seoul)

The reverse of a Korean-English science supplement, unfolded. The upper half carries a headline on the U.S. Apollo Moon Project and seven numbered artist's pictures of a lunar mission from launch to re-entry around a photograph of the moon; the lower half shows microscope images of pine stem, salt crystals and a kidney section. The tell is transfer: a space programme and microscopy are presented to a Korean audience as the achievements of a scientific century.
