The poster is designed in a stylized, graphic manner with a distinct color palette. The background is dominated by dark blue and light green, divided diagonally. In the upper left corner, a white dove with outstretched wings is depicted. On the right side, a woman's face with light, long hair is visible, highly stylized with red cheek coloring. The woman holds a large, yellow trombone, which occupies a significant portion of the image. Below the trombone, a metal chain is visible. In the lower part, there is a lighter rectangular zone where inscriptions in red and black letters are placed, as well as the years "1940" and "1960" on a black background. In the bottom right corner of the poster, a red-and-white ornamental motif is visible. The lettering styles vary, with a pronounced, bold line character.
