Condition note

Additional poster text, located on top half of poster, describing the development of the calendar: In order not to forget the people who have fought AIDS, to show the spread of the epidemic and to warn as many people as possible, particularly those who still feel that AIDS does not concern them, we wish to create a new calendar, adding to the one already in existence, where each day is given the first name of a person who died of AIDS....
