This image displays the reverse side of a printed card or exhibition program insert, likely from the mid-20th century, given the typography and paper quality. The card is off-white or cream-colored and is photographed against a plain, light gray background, with a slight shadow suggesting it is laid flat or slightly raised.

The text is typeset in a classic serif font. The first letter “Y” in “YOU” is significantly enlarged and dropped into the first line, serving as a decorative drop cap. The body of the text is left-aligned and provides information about the College Art Association (CAA).

The message reads:

“YOU have just been viewing an exhibition sponsored by the College Art Association. This is one of forty-four exhibitions circulated by the Association this season. The exhibition program is only one of the activities undertaken by our organization which publishes Eastern Art, an annual devoted to Oriental Art; The Art Bulletin, a quarterly devoted to research, and Parnassus, a monthly illustrated art magazine of international news and critical interest, and devoted to all phases of art expression. Association publications are not for sale. They are issued for Association members. However, we will be happy to send you a complimentary copy of Parnassus if it would interest you to receive it.”

Below the paragraph, centered, is the contact information:

COLLEGE ART ASSOCIATION
20 West 58th Street, New York City

At the very bottom, centered and in parentheses, is the indicator “(OVER)”, suggesting that this is the back of a two-sided document.

The tone of the text is formal and informative, aimed at educating visitors about the CAA’s broader activities beyond the exhibition they just attended. It also functions as a membership and outreach tool, offering a free sample of one of its publications to potential supporters.
