聯合國日 十月廿四日, 1953 US poster: A blue United Nations flag with the world-map emblem and olive branches waves behind a tall slab

聯合國日 十月廿四日 (United Nations Day, October 24; Chinese poster distributed in Asia; NARA title 'U.N. Day Poster')

A blue United Nations flag with the world-map emblem and olive branches waves behind a tall slab office tower and a low curved-roof hall, under a cloudy sky. Chinese characters give the title 'United Nations Day' and the date, 24 October. The tell is transfer: the flag and the headquarters buildings carry the institution's standing to the observance with no argument made beyond the date.
