Landscape poster, showing two identical portrait posters displayed next to each other. All of the content is the same, the only difference is that the left poster is black text on a white background, and the right poster is white text on a black background. Both posters call for peace plans, not nuclear war plans, and feature photographs next to each other, one of a tree, another of the same tree on fire.
