This vintage original 1988 Amnesty International poster was created by the noted graphic designer, illustrator and type designer Seymour Chwast.  Chwast’s design features four hands holding up different types of lights including a matchstick, candle, flashlight and lighter against a black background under the title: 

HUMAN RIGHTS NOW One Movement, One Message, Many Voices – Amnesty International 1988

Chwast is considered among the most influential American graphic designers of the 20th century who, along with Milton Glaser and others, founded Push Pin Studios in 1954.

This vintage original poster was probably never used and has no tape of pinholes.  The poster shows light handling wear and some slight toning to the paper on the lower right side.  Overall condition is very good.
