| This
billboard was made during the 1950's in the United States.
Like other billboards of the time, it was produced during
a time of market growth and U.S. capitalist competition. This
context suggests that the main concern of the makers was to
appeal to the 1950's clothing market. |

Briefly,
the mural was created following the Nicarguan Revolution.
Murals at this time were often painted to make a statement
by the people of Nicaragua who supported the Sandinista governement.
This mural makes a strong statement about the aggressive relationship
the U.S. had with Nicaragua during the 1980's.
