  2. Main Section:

    • The main visual section features a photograph or illustration with the words "BACK TO THE" prominently printed in large, bold letters across the top left side of the page.

The image shows an open book or album with three items affixed to its page. The items are:

  1. At the top, a small, rectangular piece of paper with printed text. The text reads:
    "Busch-Reisinger Museum
    Harvard University
    SUNDAY OPENING
    November 13, 1966, 2:00-5:00 p.m.
    GALLERY TALK"

    There are also some handwritten notes on this paper, but they are not fully legible.

  2. Below that, to the left, is a larger, vertically oriented piece of paper with the words "BACK TO THE" in bold, black letters. The rest of the content is not clearly visible, but there is an image of what appears to be an abstract or modern art piece next to the text, with some smaller, less legible text at the bottom.

  3. To the right of the previous item, there is an open, folded, light gray paper with text that reads:
    "Boston
    Globe
    TV PULOUT
    -and-
    NOV. 6, 1966"

    The paper is from "The Boston Globe" magazine, and some of the text is partially legible, but the specifics are not clear due to the angle and folding of the paper.

The items seem to be related to events or articles from 1966, specifically connecting to the Busch-Reisinger Museum at Harvard University and The Boston Globe.

Below the header, the page visible on the left features the words "BACK TO THE" in a bold sans-serif font, with the rest of the text being obscured by another leaflet overlapping it.
