General estadunidense Douglas MacArthur, Comandante en Jefe de la Zona del Suroeste del Pacífico [American General Douglas MacArthur, Commander in Chief of the Southwest Pacific Area]
A full-colour portrait of General MacArthur in gold-braided cap with the US eagle badge and five-star collar insignia, set on a blue ground with a red border. The Spanish caption gives his title; rank, insignia and the national emblem carry the poster's appeal (transfer), with no argument beyond the name and office.
