A page with two images, both of which are in black and white. The image on top is a drawing of a man standing in a field of wheat. The man is wearing a shirt and pants and is holding a stick. The drawing is titled "Man Picking Wheat" and is by Ben Shahn. The image below is a photograph of a road sign that reads "Jesus is Coming Soon." The photograph is untitled and is by Jim Dow.

The image shows a collage of two photographs and a drawing. The first photograph is a black-and-white image of a man standing in a field of tall grass. The second photograph is a black-and-white image of a road sign with the words "JESUS IS COMING SOON" written on it. The drawing is a sketch of a man's head and torso, with his hands raised in the air. The collage is placed on a brown paper folder with the date "April 12, 1974" written on it.

The image depicts a display board featuring two distinct artworks, likely part of an exhibition or collection. The board is mounted on a light brown, cardboard-like surface, and the artworks are presented on a clear, transparent stand.

Top Artwork:

• Title: "Man Nicking What?" (Reproduced by Ben Shan, ink-on-paper from the drawing collection at the Fogg Art Museum).
• Description: The artwork is a black-and-white ink drawing of a man in a dynamic pose. The man is depicted with a determined expression, leaning forward as if in motion. He is wearing a long-sleeved shirt and pants, and his posture suggests he is engaged in some form of action, possibly running or moving quickly. His right hand is extended forward, and his left hand is slightly raised, giving the impression of urgency or effort. The background consists of tall, stylized grass or reeds, adding to the sense of movement and tension in the scene.

Bottom Artwork:

• Title: Untitled photograph by Jim Dow at the Contemporary Photographs IV exhibition now at the Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge.
• Description: This is a black-and-white photograph featuring a prominent road sign with bold, capitalized text that reads, "JESUS IS COMING SOON." The sign is mounted on a wooden post and is situated along a road that appears to stretch into the distance. The road is flanked by trees and vegetation, creating a serene, rural setting. The photograph has a slightly faded or vintage aesthetic, suggesting it may be from an earlier time period. The overall tone of the image is contemplative, with the sign's message evoking a sense of anticipation or spiritual reflection.

Additional Details:

• Date and Context: The top left corner of the display board includes the date "April 12, 1974" and the label "The Gazette," indicating that this may be part of a newspaper or exhibition catalog from that time.
• Handwritten Notes: There are handwritten notes on the board, including the date "4/12/74" and some additional text, likely annotations or cataloging information.
• Pricing: The bottom artwork includes a handwritten price of "$300/14," possibly indicating the cost or value of the photograph.

Overall Impression:

The display board presents two contrasting artworks: one a dynamic, expressive ink drawing and the other a contemplative, photographically rendered scene with a spiritual message. The combination suggests a thematic exploration of movement, action, and meaning, possibly reflecting broader artistic or cultural commentary from the time period. The inclusion of exhibition details and pricing indicates that this is part of a curated collection or exhibition at the Fogg Art Museum.

The bottom clipping, also from The Gazette, displays a photograph of a sign with the message "JESUS IS COMING SOON" by Jim Dow, taken at the Contemporary Photographs IV exhibition at the Fogg Art Museum in Cambridge.
