The image displays an aged, typewritten document from 1918, likely under protective glass, given the reflections. The paper is light-colored, with some discoloration consistent with its age, and a slight crinkle or crease is visible on the right side. The document is oriented vertically but appears in a landscape photograph. At the top left, the number "41" is visible. Below it, the city and date "Rosario 6 de Abril de 1918" are typewritten. The letter is addressed to "Señor D. Fernando Fader," a prominent Argentine painter, and begins with the salutation "Distinguido señor:". The content of the letter is a formal notification from the "comisión de Bellas Artes" (Fine Arts Commission). It informs Fader that he has been designated to serve on the "jurado de admisión y de premios" (admission and awards jury) for the "próximo Salón" (upcoming exhibition), which is to be held on "el seis entrante" (the sixth of the current month) in Rosario. Other named jury members include "señor Antonio Alice y el señor Alberto Lagos, como miembros titulares" (as titular members), and "señor ingeniero Augusto Plondroia y Juan B. Castagnoli, como suplentes" (as alternate members). The letter states that these appointments are in accordance with "los artículos 12 y del reglamento que lo incluye." The commission expresses its hope that Fader will accept this designation, thus contributing to the prestige of their "Salón." At the bottom of the document, a large, ornate handwritten signature, possibly "C. Otero Pérez," is clearly visible, with the typewritten word "Secretario." underneath it. To the right of this signature, another fainter signature or stamp is present, possibly indicating "Presidente." An elegant, handwritten capital "A" is visible in the bottom left margin.
