Tom Two Arrows Is Coming! (English poster distributed in Kuala Lumpur)
An English-language poster with the headline 'Tom Two Arrows is coming!' above a color photograph of a man in a feathered roach headdress, bead armbands, necklace and beaded regalia, hands raised as if mid-dance. It gives no date, venue or sponsor. The poster makes no argument; the nearest technique is transfer, as the novelty and appeal of an American performer are placed in front of the audience for an unnamed organizer.
