The image displays an open, two-page document, likely a newsletter or announcement, from the year 1931. The left page contains a centered announcement about an April meeting of The Print Club, which is scheduled for Wednesday, the fifteenth, at the Memorial Art Gallery at 8:15 PM. The key event is a lecture on "Contemporary Print Makers" by Mr. Henry Sayles Francis of Harvard University. It concludes with a note that the public will be admitted for one dollar and a request for members to bring their membership cards.

On the right page, there are two smaller, separate announcements. The first, located at the top left, reports that Professor Paul J. Sachs of Harvard University has been named an honorary trustee of the Cincinnati Museum. The handwritten note next to it says, "Transcript May 14, 1930." The second announcement, at the top right, lists three Harvard men—R. Aldrich, Murray, and P. J. Sachs—who have been elected members of the Board of Governors of the Cambridge School of Architecture. The handwritten note next to this announcement says, "C. F. 10, 31."
