This image is in many ways the sister poster to Hohlwein's better-known and better-referenced image for Marco Polo Tee. Both images are made using the same composition: a central figure against a black background, surrounded by three green squares. This is one of two images he created for the New Hampshire-based company. Hohlwein / Munich p. 162.
