This vintage original poster was issued to help promote United Nations Day which has been held on October 24 every year since 1947.   This poster features an image of stylized white doves in flight, including one carrying an olive branch, against a clear blue-sky background.  The lower margin is printed “Design By Tom Tosti, Rochester Institute of Technology”. 

This poster isn’t dated but came with other material dated to the 1960s and 1970s and looks to be from that same c.1970 time period.   This poster is free of tape or pinholes and shows moderate handling wear including a some buckling in places mostly along the left edge and light vertical creasing.   There is a short tear of about a half inch without paper loss on the left edge near the upper corner.  Overall condition is otherwise very good for this vintage original.
