Bottom left reads, "Iron if creased." Bottom right reads, "A Gear poster (c) Christopher Logue 1966/ Produced by Vandal Publications LTD/ Printer by Harrison & Sons LTD."

Poster has a black background with orange and white text. There are two images of Marilyn Monroe waving and wearing a shimmering dress; one image is a full body photograph and the second is a closeup of that photograph. Poster reads, "For Pauline Boty/ Gone Ladies." Poem reads," Where in the world is Helen gone/ Whose loveliness demolished Troy/ Sheba, Salome, and the wan/ Licentioius Queen of Avalon....Bird, do not seek to know from me/ Who was the fairest of them all;/ What would you say if I asked thee,/ Where is the snow we watched last Fall?"
