whole: The poster is double-sided. Side 1: the six images occupy the majority, each held within a narrow black border. The

title and text are separate and placed along the top edge and bottom edge, in black. Further text is integrated and located in the upper

left, in red outlined black, and lower right, in black. All set against a white background. Side 2: the image is positioned in the upper

three-quarters. The title and text are separate and placed in the lower quarter, in black, held within a white inset, and in

brown.

image 1: the first five images show the character of Percy Vere, accompanied by a small dog, discovering an open manhole. He lifts a wooden

board off the ground to cover it, not realising the board already covered another manhole. Percy then proceeds to fall down the newly

uncovered manhole. In the final image, the dog holds a sign stating 'Watch Your Step'.

image 2: a close-up depiction of a finger, with a small scratch on its tip.
