Description

This poster printed with gold-colored ink on a black background features a reproduction of the photograph by Peter Gibbons of the Lincoln Memorial statue in Washington, D. C., with a young school-age girl gazing up at it. The print is attached to the poster at the top within a printed rectangular frame. The title "Enshrined Forever" is printed just below the bottom edge of the frame. The company name and office addresses are printed beneath with the 12 calendar pages for 1953 stapled to the poster below. The company motto is printed between the calendar pages and the bottom edge. A gold-colored border outlines the edges of the poster. A thin black rope is threaded through two holes centered just below the top edge border and tied for hanging. A printed information sheet (6 inches x 5 inches) on the Lincoln Memorial and the photographer accompanies the poster.
