In an austere and subversive typographic design showing the letter “R” gradually evolving into a “D” and with the key information reduced to tiny letters, Glaser promotes a 1968 exhibition at the School of Visual Arts dedicated to the work of Robert Delpire. Delpire was a French publisher, editor, curator, and film producer who remains best known for his championing of such photographers as Robert Doisneau, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Robert Frank. The text also mentions a showing of the film Cassius Clay, presumably referring to the 1964 documentary Cassius Le Grand (Cassius the Great), directed by William Klein and produced by Delpire, about the boxer later known as Muhammed Ali.
