Pictorial Magazine poster, 65-100: Ethiopian students at Harvard (Amharic)
An Amharic photo sheet headed 'Pictorial Magazine' reporting that the Ethiopian Students Association in America held a meeting at Harvard University. Five black-and-white photographs show men and women at a conference table, in a hall and seated in conversation, with a large U.S. flag behind several of them. The tell is card-stacking: the sheet presents a selection of cordial, orderly meeting scenes as its account of the event.
