The image shows a yellowed, aged piece of paper with a hole punch on the right side. At the top, there is a handwritten note that reads: "Oct. 16 - Nov. 25, 1950 / Three Perjurers at the Contemporary Theatre. / Robert Edmond Jones, Donald Oenslager, Lee Simonson." The paper appears to be a program or a ticket stub, possibly for a theatrical performance. The design includes an arch at the top and a small symbol resembling a pair of scissors or a similar figure in the center. The edges of the paper are slightly worn, and the overall condition suggests it is a historical document.

The image shows a beige-colored file folder with a transparent plastic window on its front cover. Inside the plastic window, there is a handwritten note that reads:

"Oct. 16 - Nov. 25, 1950
Three Persons of the Contemporary Theatre
Robert Edmond Jones, Donald Oenslager, Lee Simonson"

The folder has three punched holes on its right side, likely for placing it in a binder. There is also a small black symbol, resembling a key or a loop, printed near the center of the plastic window. The folder appears to be an archival or organizational item, possibly used to store documents or materials related to the individuals mentioned in the handwritten note.

This image displays a vintage, aged document, likely a program or program cover, mounted on a larger piece of tan, slightly textured paper or cardstock. The entire object shows signs of aging, with a uniform yellow-brown discoloration, slight creases, and minor edge wear.

At the top, a smaller, lighter tan paper strip is affixed, featuring handwritten text in cursive ink. The handwriting reads:

OCT. 16 - NOV. 25 1970
Three Programs of the Contemporary Theatre.
Robert Edmonstone, Donald Oenslager, Leo Sirota

This text identifies the event as a series of theatre programs at “the Contemporary Theatre” running from October 16 to November 25, 1970. It also lists three key figures associated with the theater: Robert Edmonstone (likely a director or playwright), Donald Oenslager (a noted scenic designer), and Leo Sirota (a renowned pianist and composer).

Below this title strip is the main body of the document, a rectangular piece of paper, which appears to be the actual program cover. Its surface is largely blank or faded, with faint vertical and horizontal lines suggesting a previous printed layout or design that has since been washed out or obscured over time. A small, black, stylized emblem resembling a pair of crossed symbols (possibly stylized scissors or abstracted tools) is centered near the top of this panel.

The entire assembly is mounted on a larger backing sheet. On the right-hand side of this backing, a vertical fold line is visible, suggesting it may have been part of a folder or binder. Three holes—two black and one white—pierce the right edge, indicating it was likely stored in a ring binder or file.

In summary, this is an archival item: an aged, mounted theatrical program cover from 1970 for “Three Programs of the Contemporary Theatre,” with handwritten identification and notable names from the arts world of that era. The blankness of the central panel and the handwritten overlay suggest the document is a preparatory or archival copy rather than a final printed program for public distribution.

The image depicts a beige-colored envelope with a rectangular shape. The envelope is folded in half, with the top flap folded down and secured with a small circular object, possibly a button or a sticker. The envelope has a handwritten note on the top flap, which reads "Oct. 16 - Nov. 25, 1950, Three performances of the Contemporary Theatre." The note is written in black ink and appears to be a record of the dates and events related to the envelope's contents.

The image displays a folded piece of paper with a brown background, suggesting it is a page from a book or document. The paper is creased and folded in half, with a small rectangular envelope attached to the center of the fold. The envelope is also brown and appears to be made of the same material as the paper. The paper has handwritten text on it, including the date range "Oct. 16 - Nov. 25, 1950," and the names "Robert Landon Scott, Donald O'Connor, and the Seeman." The text is written in black ink and appears to be a list or record of some kind.

The image depicts a brown, rectangular file folder or archival sleeve with a slightly worn appearance. The folder has a flap closure at the top, secured with a small metal clasp or tie. The flap is slightly open, revealing a transparent plastic sleeve inside, which appears to be empty or contains an item that is not visible.

On the front of the folder, handwritten text is visible. The text includes a date range ("Oct. 16 – Nov. 25, 1950") and a description: "Three Pamphlets of the Contemporary Press (Robert Duncan, Donald Auster, Lee Brown)." The handwriting is cursive and appears to be in black ink. The folder has a few visible staples or holes along its edges, suggesting it may have been part of a larger filing system or archive. The overall condition of the folder indicates it may be vintage or historical, likely used for storing documents or materials related to the specified pamphlets.

This image depicts a worn and aged manila envelope with certain distinctive features:

1. The envelope is oriented vertically and has a hole punched at the top center, suggesting it was intended for storage in a binder or filing system.
2. It is sealed with a black, circular sticker that overlaps the flap onto the body of the envelope, which has an '8-shaped' design on it.
3. There is handwritten text at the top left corner of the envelope in blue ink, but the writing is not entirely legible. From what can be discerned, it seems to contain a date ("16 Nov 1915"), and possibly some names or titles, though they are unclear from this angle.
4. The right side of the envelope has three punched holes—two of them are complete, and one partially cut—that align with the punched hole at the top, reinforcing the idea that this envelope would be stored in a multi-ring binder.
5. The envelope appears empty, and over time, it has developed some discoloration and visible crease marks that indicate handling and storage.

The content once contained within this envelope is not visible, but its presentation and the written note suggest it may have held documents of importance related to the dated event or individuals mentioned in the note.

The image shows a light brown paper sheet with an envelope affixed to it. The envelope, made of thin, semi-transparent material, has a darker yellow-brown tone and features a black metal securing clasp. Above the envelope, there is handwriting in black ink, which appears to describe its contents. There are two small punched holes on the right side of the sheet, suggesting that it may have been part of a larger compiled document, perhaps stored in a binder. The sheet has an aged appearance, with slight discoloration and wear.

The image shows an old, yellowed envelope mounted on a larger brown piece of paper, which has three punched holes on the right side, suggesting it was part of a binder or folder. The envelope is sealed and has a small black metal clasp in the center of its flap. At the top of the envelope flap, there is handwritten text in black ink that reads:

"OCT. 16 - Nov. 25, 1950
Three Figures of the Contemporary Theater
Robert E. Lowry, Donald Deskey, Lee Simonson."

The writing appears to be a label or description related to the contents that might have once been inside the envelope. The overall appearance of the materials indicates age and careful preservation.

• A large, light brown manila folder is laid flat on a gray background.
• On the front is a large inner pocket or overlay, lighter in color, with rounded top corners and a small cross-like symbol in the center.
• At the very top of the pocket there is a curved tab with a punched hole, and a strip of handwritten note runs along the curved edge (the handwriting is cursive and partly legible).
• The right edge shows binder holes (three visible, two clearly punched) as if the folder was in a ring binder.
• The overall look is aged and slightly worn, with a faint vertical crease running through the pocket area.
