Souvannaphouma portrait poster, party adviser (Lao poster distributed in Vientiane)
A Lao-language portrait sheet of a man in a pale suit and striped tie, captioned with a prince's title, his name and a party-adviser role, followed by a short phrase and a blank dotted line. No slogan is printed. The tell is transfer: a formal studio portrait and a princely title attach standing to the named figure and his party.
