A colorful, hand-drawn poster about a misspelled bottle. The poster has yellow borders, pink flowers, and various parts of text in different colors and handwriting. The main title says "the misspelled bottle" with "the" written in orange and "misspelled" in orange with a black outline. There are smaller text boxes stating "the bottle was found in Littleton," "the bottle was made in 1890," and "the bottle is made of clay." The central text explains that the bottle's name is misspelled because "Littleton" is spelled "lettton," has an orange/brown color, and is about 40 or 50 years old, with small cracks.
A miniature diorama of a person standing behind a table, with shelves and various small objects made from cardboard, paper, and other craft materials, all set against a brown background.
