Poster

Artist/Maker

Poster featuring a circular stained-glass-style design against a solid black background. The design includes vibrant sections of red, orange, yellow and green, which form a rainbow. The word 'GREENPEACE' is at the top, and 'SAVE THE WHALES' is at the bottom, both in black text against a yellow background. Inside the circle, a blue whale is depicted swimming in the ocean, while above the surface, a seagull flies near a ship with smoke coming out of its stack. Below the circle, in small white text, are the words: 'I THINK I will try to learn what I can from creatures less destructive than Man and make of my Earth what they make of their Sea a playground for mirth, for harmony.'
