Description

Date on back of poster, 1995, reflects when the vendor received the copy later acquired by the UCLA Library.
Depicts two mustached men, both shirtless, one standing behind the other. The man in the back, considerably older than the man in the front, has one arm wrapped around the younger man's chest. His other arm is reaching up, his hand clasping the younger man's head. The man in the foreground is posed with one hand grabbing his own belt buckle, his other hand disappearing between his and his lover's body. Both are somberly gazing at the camera.
