“A decayed, vintage- style poster from 1957, weathered and torn, depicting a surreal American country scene. The faded image shows a woman in a floral- patterned 1950s dress holding her young daughter’s hand, her wide, mad smile radiating an eerie charm. In the far background, a massive nuclear mushroom cloud dominates the sky, with fiery orange fireballs at its base and visible blast waves rippling through the landscape. The poster’s bold text, ‘SOVIET NUKE?’ across the upper section and ‘SMILE WITH US’ in the lower section, is faded, smeared, and inked with scribbles and stains. The paper appears rotten, with tears, creases, and discolored edges, evoking a haunting sense of abandonment and decay, adding to the unsettling atmosphere of the piece. ”
