Poster printed in shades of brown and blue on white paper. A reproduction of an artwork showing men on horseback of "Frederic Remington ...sketches the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry as it parades through Tampa in June 1898...by Jackson Walker" appears at center. Text at top center above the image reads "The New York State Vietnam Memorial Proudly Presents 100th Anniversary of the Spanish American War 1898 - 1998." Text below the image reads "December 10, 1998 - February 5, 1999 / 9 AM to 5 PM Monday - Through Friday / NYS Vietnam Memorial Fine Arts Gallery / Empire State Plaza / Concourse Level." "George E. Pataki / Governor / State of New York" is printed at lower left in small print and "John L. Behan / State Director / Div. of Veterans' Affairs" is printed at lower right. [Few centennial celebrations were hosted for this war, most likely because although it started out as a very popular military engagement, it ended up (as the Phillipine-American War) to be a terrible exercise in opportunistic imperial growth and drew considerable opposition. -LMC]
