This image is a page from a vintage book, featuring an advertisement for a bus tour and a newspaper clipping about an art exhibition.

The advertisement, titled "This Week in Boston and the Beautiful North Shore of Massachusetts," promotes a four-day auto tour to White Mountains-Maine and New Hampshire's beautiful beaches. The tour is offered by Queen Line and costs $39.50, including hotel expenses and steamer sail on Casco Bay. The advertisement also mentions that all seats are reserved and trips leave every Monday from Hotel Lenox, Boston.

The newspaper clipping, dated July 22, 1928, reports on the Blake Drawings going to the British Museum. The article states that Mrs. Frances White Emerson of Boston, Massachusetts, has presented the Print Room of the British Museum with a complete series of watercolors made by William Blake for Young's "Night Thoughts." The exact number of drawings is 537, and it is expected that they will be in the Print Room next year. The article also mentions that Blake's fee for the drawings was 20 guineas, and their present value is estimated by Mr. Keynes at anything between £10,000 and £50,000. In 1874, they were sold by those whose property they had become to James Bain, the bookseller in the Haymarket, for £425. From Bain, they passed after many years to the late Harrison J. Perry, an American bibliophile, and, on the dispersal of his collection in 1906 to the late Mr. W. A. White, of New York. Mr. White's daughter is Mrs. Emerson, to whose great generosity the British nation now owes important Blake material, which left this country for America over a quarter of a century ago, and has not been publicly on view here since they were shown at the Burlington Fine Arts Club in 1876.
