Poster designed by Eckersley for Lepra [the British Leprosy Relief Association].

The header slogan reads 'help Lepra fight [in black text] Leprosy [red text], with a secondary slogan '20 MILLION PEOPLE SUFFER TODAY'. The image is a silhouette in black of a mans profile, facing to the left, in a band across his crown is a world map. The top of the map is in white and the bottom in red. The background is also in white, giving the impression that it seeps into the image.

The poster won the Design Council Poster Award for 1975/76 but Eckersley has dated it 1981.
