Artist/Maker	OSPAAAL (The Organization in Solidarity With the People of Africa, Asia and Latin America) Alfredo Rostgaard (artist)
Place of origin	Cuba (made)

Colour lithograph poster similar to Rostgaard’s unfolding Nixon as a vampire (E.454-2018). This poster also shows a US president, Lyndon B. Johnson, revealed within a heart shape when the top quarter of the sheet is folded. The heart is coming out of the head of a man in a pinstripe suit with moustache, intended to represent a generic Puerto Rican politician. The poster is a critique of the influence of the American government on local elections and politics in Puerto Rico.
