This poster shows two men in suits standing next to a giant bird made of oil barrels. The bird has sharp claws and a menacing face, while the men look serious. The background is dark with jagged lines, like fire or smoke. Text at the top reads *"Con una Piedra se Matan Muchos Pájaros... Nalgones"* in bold letters. The bird is labeled *"El Águila de las Cías. Petroleras"* (The Eagle of the Oil Companies). The text below supports a political figure, Lázaro Cárdenas, and attacks oil company puppets. Look up Leopoldo Méndez next to see more of his bold, political art.
