An advertisement for the polio vaccine which reads: "they all got vaccine except dad...don't take a chance...take your polio shots!" It depicts a photo of a family gathered around a father who is in an iron lung.

Foto de Eduardo Bolsonaro, Deputado Federal, em primeiro plano fechado do peito para cima, com uma expressão pensativa ou atenta. Ele é um homem de pele clara, cabelos castanhos curtos e calvície frontal aparente, além de uma barba escura e cerrada. Na imagem, ele aparece olhando ligeiramente para a sua esquerda com os olhos semiabertos, enquanto leva a mão esquerda à boca, revelando uma aliança dourada no dedo anelar. Ele veste um paletó azul-escuro sobre uma camisa social branca. Ao fundo, outras pessoas em um ambiente institucional aparecem completamente desfocadas, incluindo um homem logo atrás dele à direita e a silhueta de um microfone de haste fina perto de seu ombro.
