The top invitation is on cream-colored paper with dark red ornate text and a matching decorative illustration of a person in a flowing robe holding up a goblet in a celebratory manner. The text is in an elegant, old-fashioned script font and reads:

Informal Refreshments"

The two cards together indicate an invitation to events related to an exhibition of German Expressionist drawings from the D. Thomas Bergen collection at the Busch-Reisinger Museum, with one card inviting to a buffet supper and the other to a preview of the exhibition itself.

The image shows a page from an invitation or a booklet. The displayed text is an exquisite, stylized invitation to an art-related event. It is printed in black and red inks, with decorative script and a graphic illustration.

The red illustration at the top depicts a person in profile, wearing what appears to be a long, flowing garment, reaching out with their arm extended and pointing a finger. This style is reminiscent of classical or perhaps expressionist art, which matches the event's theme.

The text is as follows:

"Before the exhibition of the
D. Thomas Bergen Collection
of German Expressionist Drawings
at the Busch-Reisinger Museum(s),
you are invited to a Buffet Supper
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph B.
Ehrenfried, Tuesday, May the

"You are cordially invited
to attend a preview of
the exhibition of
