# Winston S. Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Joseph Stalin, Chiang Kai-Shek

Four colour portraits in a grid, each captioned with a name: Winston S. Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Joseph Stalin and Chiang Kai-Shek. The poster carries no slogan; the tell is the grouping of the four Allied leaders on one sheet, which transfers the standing of each to the alliance as a whole.
