A black and white printed poster for the Swedish pop group ABBA, promoting their 1979 world tour. The central photographic image features band members Bjorn Ulvaeus, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Agnetha Faltskog, and Benny Andersson leaning against a dark motor vehicle, dressed in contemporary late-1970s fashions including denim waistcoats, bell-bottomed jeans, and platform shoes. The poster design incorporates a white border with various text elements. Across the top border is the printed text POLAR MUSIC PRESENTS. The group name ABBA appears in large serif type below, followed by THE TOUR in block capitals. The bottom section of the poster specifies the date OCTOBER 20 1979 and the location STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN. A vertical line of text along the bottom right edge reads DESIGNED BY GARY ALLEN. A faint, repeating watermark reading Designed by Gary Allen is visible across the entire surface of the image. The print features a deliberately distressed finish with simulated scratches and dust marks.
