Poster, lithograph, line 'drawing' of a soldier's head and shoulders, in profile. His equipment, uniform and apparatus give him an unhuman, almost monstrous, appearance. Above him are the words, 'La Guerra es un Gran Negocio.', in a semi-circle at the top of the sheet, and below this, 'Inverta a sus Hijos'. In the semi-circle formed by these slogans, is a heraldic eagle with wings outstretched, clutching a rifle in one claw and a missile in the other.
