The main component is a newspaper clipping titled “James Wilson, Globemaker, Died 110 Years Ago”, written by Harold W. Hannen, Chairman, Bradford Bicentennial Commission. The article, dated April 20, 1965, chronicles the life and legacy of James Wilson, the first American globe maker, who was born in 1763 in Bradford, Vermont.

Accompanying the article is a small, rectangular, black-and-white photograph pasted on the left side, showing what appears to be an aerial or topographic view of a small town or settlement, possibly Bradford, Vermont.
