The booklet is printed on aged, yellowed paper with black ink and appears to be a collection of clippings or pages from a newspaper or museum bulletin. The text is arranged in traditional newspaper columns.

Right Page:

• Main Headline: “SPECIAL EXHIBITION OPEN” (dated April 15, 1921, at the top).
• Sub-headline: “Collection of Martin Luther’s Works Mainly From Private Libraries Placed in Treasury Room.”
• Content: This article details an exhibition of Martin Luther’s writings and pamphlets, including items like his “Ninety-five Theses,” the “Address to the German Nobility,” and a Papal Bull. It mentions rare items such as Luther’s own translation of the Bible and portraits of Luther and his wife by Lucas Cranach (1528). The text notes the exhibition is curated to coincide with the 400th anniversary of Luther’s appearance at the Diet of Worms.

This page is composed of several distinct articles, some appearing as pasted-in clippings:

• Top Clipping (April 14, 1921): Discusses the “Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University. Collection of Mediaeval and Renaissance Paintings.” It reviews a new museum catalogue as a “handbook for Harvard and Radcliffe students,” praising its scholarly treatment of art from various European schools. The byline is “M.C.”

• Middle Section:

  • A note dated “April 16, 1921,” announces the last day of the “exhibition of Illuminated Manuscripts from the J. Pierpont Morgan Library.”
