The previous pictures were magnified at 10-15x and there is absolutely no dot pattern. I tried to take a few more pictures under even higher magnification but it was difficult because I had already put it back in the frame and the viewer is very small. The borders of the lettering are darker. Dimensions are only one consideration and while they're an important one, it's clear that under magnification this is a period piece.
The question I have is whether this is from the publication (based on the previous publication) or if this is truly a stand-alone small format advertisement. I'm still somewhat uncertain because of the smaller dimensions and lack of evidence that it has been trimmed around the edges. Additionally, the texture itself seems 'thicker' in nature...I have no other way to describe it.
