Description: This screen print is like other screen prints Warhol produced that were made to mirror or parody consumer magazines and adds. This one provides an example of how Warhol would often choose to purposefully put errors or flaws in the screen print, i.e the lack of tint at the bottom of the 1 and the word each, instead of making perfect copies of the media. This continues his statement on consumerism in the US and the ways in which magazines and advertisements focused on quickly getting the viewers attention rather than deep content.
