# SEATO poster 182, headquarters map (English, Bangkok)

An English-language SEATO poster in blue and red. A photograph captioned 'SEATO Headquarters Bangkok' sits at the centre, with red lines running to labelled outline maps of the eight member states. The slogan is 'Collective security, pathway to peace'. The tell is glittering generalities and bandwagon: peace is the stated aim, and the radiating maps present the alliance as a broad shared undertaking.
