The image shows two items side by side. On the left, there is a contemporary photograph of an open book standing upright. The book, which appears to be art or design-oriented, is positioned in such a way that its covers and pages create a visually pleasing abstract shape resembling a right angle, with one cover in a bold red color and the other in a muted gray. On the right, there is a vintage book titled "Ways of Seeing" by John Berger, which appears to be a well-worn Pelican Original edition. The book's cover features text and a set of four small images depicting a door, a wind-up clock, a bird, and a jug, along with an introduction that discusses the nature of seeing and perception. The items are placed against a light-colored wooden background.

The image shows two items, one is a framed piece of artwork and the other appears to be an open book.

On the left, there is an open book angled in such a way that its pages are visible, and it's resting on a two-tone background, which has a large white portion and a smaller red portion in the bottom left. The book casts a faint shadow on the white surface, giving the impression of three-dimensionality.

On the right, inside a wooden frame with a glass cover, is what appears to be a page from a book or a print of a book cover. The title on it reads "WAYS OF SEEING" and just below it mentions "Based on the BBC television series with JOHN BERGER." The page includes a text block that starts with "Seeing comes before words..." and further down are thumbnail images of a pipe, a bottle, a glass, and an apple with associated text from what seems to be a discussion of art and perception. Along the right side of the frame, there are handwritten notes and marks, suggesting someone has interacted with or studied the content of this framed piece.

The overall composition of the image seems carefully arranged and may suggest a theme related to art, perception, and interpretation.

This image shows two side-by-side pieces. On the left is a minimalist photograph of books, featuring a white book standing upright and what appears to be an orange or red book laying down, creating interesting geometric shapes and shadows against a light background.

On the right is a framed book cover or page from "Ways of Seeing" by John Berger, which is a Pelican original publication based on a BBC television series. The cover contains text discussing how seeing precedes words and includes four small illustrations showing different objects (a horse, a clock, a jug, and another item) with their corresponding labels. The text references Magritte's "The Key of Dreams" and discusses the relationship between seeing and knowing. The piece is displayed in what appears to be a wooden frame with a cream-colored mount.

Both pieces seem to be part of an exhibition or collection relating to visual perception and the relationship between images and words.

The image consists of two framed items displayed side by side.

On the left is a framed photograph of a book. The book appears to be open and standing upright, with its pages fanned out. The book has a red cover, and the pages are white. The photograph is mounted on a light-colored mat.

On the right is a framed cover of a book titled "Ways of Seeing" by John Berger. The cover indicates that the book is based on a BBC television series. The text on the cover reads:

"Seeing comes before words. The child looks and recognizes before it can speak. But there is also another sense in which seeing comes before words. It is seeing which establishes our place in the surrounding world; we explain that world with words, but words can never undo the fact that we are surrounded by it. The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled.

The Surrealist painter Magritte commented on this always present problem in a painting called The Key of Dreams. The way we see things is affected by what we know or what we believe."

Below the text, there are four images labeled "The Key of Dreams" with the following captions:

1. The door
2. The bird
3. The leaf
4. The glass

The framed book cover also appears to be mounted on a light-colored mat. Both frames are set against a gray background.
