ABC logo printed at bottom right. Printed signature at lower left: "Jim Sharpe"

Multi-color poster shows an image of a man holding a rifle and wearing a long red coat and gas mask at center. Images of two male faces flank the man at his shoulders. The man on the left speaks into a microphone, and the man on the right is blindfolded. A prison building with several turrets and stationed guards appears behind the figures on a gray textured background. "ATTICA" is printed in large font at top right. Small text at bottom center reads, "On September 13, 1971, a rebellion took place in upstate New York / that resulted in the largest number of casualties in a single encounter / between Americans since the Civil War. / ABC Theater Presentation Sunday, March 2nd."
