A promotional poster produced by Merrill Lynch to celebrate the Moon landing in 1969 entitled Myths, Maps & Men: Merrill Lynch Salutes the Year of the Moon. 36.6 X 42.7 cm. Note the American eagle at the top, on which are sitting three U.S. presidents; the double hemisphere map of the Moon separated by an Apollo rocket in the center, with cartoonish figures and humorous labels on the lunar surface; and a tribute to the event and hopes for the future in the two curtains on either side of the central cartouche at the bottom.
