Tened confianza, seréis peruanos (Have Faith, You Will Be Peruvians)

Tened confianza, seréis peruanos (Have Faith, You Will Be Peruvians)

A painted poster: a man in a waistcoat and sandals raises a straw hat in one hand while his other arm grips a large red-and-white flag; beside him a woman in a striped Andean shawl holds an infant. Lettering reads 'Tened confianza, seréis peruanos'. Transfer tell: the national flag and a young family carry the argument, and the slogan promises the outcome the poster asks its audience to trust.
