    Interesting that the text runs in a column all the way down the left side before continuing again at the top of the center column, while the pictures run across the top of the page left to right before resuming at the left of the center band. It’s a kind of plaid effect that results in the text in the bottom left corner being related to the image at the upper right, and the reader of the text encountering the image at the lower left long before reaching the related text. Hard to believe someone wouldn’t have seen this as confusing and figured out how to resolve it!
