History

Multi-color poster on white paper contains a portrait of Iron Eyes Cody, an American actor known for playing Native American roles. Cody appears on the lower half of the page in three-quarter profile wearing a fringed leather and beaded top with beaded necklaces. His long black hair is plaited in two braids and wrapped with red cloth. A feather is attached to the left braid. An arched cluster of children's portraits surround Cody's head and shoulders on the upper portion of the page.
