Ad Artwork

The ad features four Biblical images:


Atop the biblical scenes, four hyperbolic shapes forming a cross contain names and fragments of mathematical equations:

In three quadrants of the ad, there is circular seal representing a United States Federal Reserve Bank.

  • Top Left: A Seal, representing the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston
  • Bottom Left: E Seal, representing the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond
  • Bottom Right: L Seal, representing the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco

In the center of the ad is a circular photograph of a mushroom cloud, most likely taken during the Castle Romeo nuclear test at Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands in 1954. This was the first test of the TX-17 thermonuclear weapon. Wikipedia

Surrounding the mushroom cloud are 12 panels of stained glass from the north rose window of Chartres Cathedral in France. The center pane is normally where Christ would be depicted.

Translation from Greek: "If you do not expect the unexpected, you will not find it, for it is not to be reached by search or trail."
