The image shows a poster or print with artwork and text. At the top of the poster is a black printed image of an individual who appears to be kneeling or in a subservient position, holding something close to their face — possibly chains. The person is depicted in a stark, silhouette-like style against a white background. Below the image, there is a framed textual content with the header "Ran away," followed by a description that reads as "Glenn, a black man - early 30's, very short cropped hair, small oval wire-rimmed glasses. Wearing large black linen shirt with white buttons, dark navy shorts, black socks and shoes. Black-and-white bead bracelet and silver watch on left wrist. No other jewelry. He has a sweet voice, is quiet. Appears somewhat timid." The description beneath the header mimics the style of an advertisement or a notice, possibly alluding to the historical context of runaway slave advertisements, but instead describes a contemporary person named Glenn. At the very bottom right corner, there is handwriting that reads "PP ⅓" and a signature that seems to say "Ligon '93" which indicates the print is a part of a limited series and is created in the year 1993 by an artist with the last name Ligon.
