A union label for Allied Printing, "Printed in the Union Shop, Richmond, Calif., telephone; 233-9108," and a ladybug symbol are printed on verso at bottom left.

Black and white poster shows a "reproduction of the front page of the first edition of any communist party publication ever printed legally in Portugal." The masthead reads, "Avante! / Proletarios de todos os paises: UNI-VOS!" Text at top right reads, "17 de Mailo de 1974 / 1 / Ano 44 - Serie VII / Director interino / Antonio Dias Lourenco / Propriedade / Editorial <> Lda. / Preco: 2$50." A photograph of a group of people standing behind a podium with microphones appears at upper right with the headline below, "Os Comunistas / No Governo Provisorio." The back of the poster is printed with information on "Avante", provides an English translation of the Editorial on the poster's front, and gives information on how to subscribe to "People's World," a west coast Marxist newspaper.
