Abstract Poster in Three Colours, Black Stripes with Red and Yellow Blocks (wordless poster distributed in Baghdad)
A wordless abstract sheet: eight horizontal black bars across a cream ground, overlaid by five tall rectangles in red and yellow. NARA titles it 'Posters 17 x 22'' (3-color)', which suggests a sample of a three-colour poster format sent from Beirut. The sheet states no message, so no persuasion technique is claimed with confidence. The nearest tag is glittering-generalities, as the bold colour pattern carries only general visual appeal.
