This piece is framed.

This is a piece of advertising, not fine art or design. The poster (series) commemorated The National Episcopal Church declaring the 500th anniversary of Columbus' discovery of America to be a year of reflection, not celebration because of what he and his crew did to Native Americans. The poster was distributed for free to schools and churches.
