On back: "ALCATRAZ ART DISPLAY--Twenty-one Alcatraz prisoners contributed works to the third annual outdoor show of the San Francisco Art Commission which opened in Union Square Sept. 29. Here a small part of the thousands of visitors who thronged to the show view some of the prisoners interpretations of what they see from their cell windows. The work of the convicts appearing in the show is on sale and selling briskly. Proceeds will be deposited to the artists prison account.".
