The poster ha s a black border overall. The poster has a stylized drawing of a female figure. The figure is nude with her long orange hair covering her left breast and pubic area. Her right hand, in which she is holding an apple hides her right breast. The figure's left hand is outstretched toward a large green leaf with two tabs drawn in dashed lines. The background of the drawing and the figure are pink. The bottom of the poster has the text: "In the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up...and / there was no man to till the ground...A mist went up from th earth and watered the whole face of the ground...Then the Lord God formed man of dust / from the ground...The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to till it and keep it. Then the Lord God said, 'It is not good that the man / should be alone'...So the Lord caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs...and the rib which the Lord God had taken from / the man he made into a woman...Then the man said, 'She shall be called woman'...God commanded Adam and Eve, 'Not to eat of the fruit from the tree / which is in the midst of the garden; neither shall you touch it, lest you die.' But Eve was beguiled by the serpent and she ate of the fruit, and she gave fruit / of the tree to Adam, and he ate of it. The Lord God was angry because Adam and Eve disobeyed his command and he said to Adam, 'Because you have listened / to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, 'You shall not eat of it'...in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life.' Then / the Lord God said to Eve, 'I will greatly multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children, And Your Husband Shall Rule Over You.' ".
