whole: a sepia tinted photograph occupies the majority of the page with the central section highlighted in colour. A
broad, vertical red strip runs across the image. This contains three blocks of bold white type and a block of six lines of capitalised
black type at the bottom of the page, followed by two lines of corporate logos in black. The main title of the poster is positioned with
one word in black in the centre of the red strip, running into a second word in white, positioned over the photograph. There are several
sections of text in beige overlaying the image, imitating the text and font of a bank note.

over the plate. The plate is illuminated by a metal lamp, reflecting a golden light. The plate sits on top of sheets of printed banks
notes. In the background the shoulder and chest of a passing guard can be seen. The guard has a Nazi insignia incorporating a swastika and
and eagle on his sleeve and machine gun slung over his shoulder. The second portion of the photograph is a portion of a woman's face, her
chin resting on her hand, revealing a diamond bracelet on her wrist.
