This image displays a single, aged, off-white sheet of paper with three punched holes along its left margin, suggesting it was part of a binder or folder. Affixed to this sheet are two identical, smaller, rectangular cards of a slightly darker, pale beige color.

Each card contains a printed announcement for a concert, presented in a formal, typewriter-style font. The text on both cards is identical in content and layout, except for the date.

The announcement reads as follows:

FOGG ART MUSEUM — HARVARD UNIVERSITY
CONCERT
BY
THE STRADIVARIUS QUARTET OF NEW YORK
UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE DIVISION OF MUSIC AND
THE FOGG ART MUSEUM
FRIDAY, [DATE], AT 8.15 P.M.
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

The specific dates differ between the two cards:

  • The top card announces the concert for Friday, December 12.
  • The bottom card announces the concert for Friday, January 16.

The overall appearance is that of a historical document, likely from the mid-20th century, preserving ephemera for two separate concerts presented by the same ensemble at the same venue under the same auspices. The paper’s coloration and the simple design suggest age and archival quality.
