Bottom right corner has "Photograph by Paul Avery Printed by East Wind."





Poster has a black and white photograph in the center of a young boy with a bloody face and a blood stained shirt. Next to him is a woman with a bloody face with cuts. Below the image is "Vietnamization" in white lettering. I*mages such as this, showing the civilian cost of the war, was enormously effective. There is evidence that Dr. Martin Luther King decided to challenge the war after seeing such images in Ramparts magazine. [LMC]
