This political poster made for George McGovern's unsuccessful presidential run against Republican candidate Richard Nixon was not a commission, but something that the three wanted to do, and they published it privately to help the campaign. The image is a fabric construction showing the American flag in the process of being assembled out of canvas-strips of red and white, a blue rectangle and white stars. The ornate script in the center instantaneously evokes the U. S. Constitution while it reinforces McGovern's image as a post-Vietnam healer.
