I was gifted this large hard cardboard poster that appears to replicate Ed White's Gemini IV EVA. It is somewhat iridescent and is almost four feet long.

I am assuming the connection is with Tang and thus the Kraft arm patch. Any help on information on this ad, when would it have appeared, was it in fact for Tang, etc. would be great.

The same style display came up in a discussion on the Space Hipsters Facebook group four years ago. The cardboard poster is part of a grocery store display that included several other pieces.

Here is a Saturn V-inspired example from Etsy:

And here is another rocket example on eBay:

It may have been Tang related, but was apparently used to promote Kraft foods in general.
