Description
This black-and-white poster features a photograph of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and Madame Chiang Kai-shek (Soong Mei-ling) seated indoors in a relaxed setting. The Generalissimo, on the left, wears a military uniform and is seen in profile, smiling. Madame Chiang, on the right, wears a dark, patterned cheongsam and is petting a large, light-colored dog resting in front of them. In the background, there is a bookcase with framed photographs and flowers. A white text box in the lower-left corner contains a quote attributed to Franklin D. Roosevelt: "The tenacity of the Chinese people, both armed and unarmed, in the face of tremendous odds in carrying on for almost five years a resolute defense against an enemy far superior in equipment is an inspiration to the fighting men and all the peoples of the other United Nations... I extend to you across land and sea the hand of comradeship for the common good, the common goal, the common victory that shall be ours." In the bottom right corner, a small caption identifies the subjects as "Generalissimo and Madame Chiang Kai-shek."
