This is a description of the catalogue to the Exposición Surrealista Internacional held in Mexico City in 1940:

[la muestra] Contó con un catálogo bilingüe, el cual, con la contraportada en espejo, mantuvo una oferta seductora: “aparición de la gran esfinge nocturna, relojes videntes, marcos radioactivos, invitaciones quemadas”.

Thanks!

agree Hugh Thomson : On page 8 there is a description of the cover of the exhibition catalogue; I think it is unlikely to have been reflective: https://ir.uiowa.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1329&contex...

Thank you for confirming my suspicion!

mirrored back cover

Or perhaps "reflective back cover".
Although if you Google the phrase, most of the references you find are for cell phone covers, but "contraportada" means the back cover of the catalogue, so I wouldn't worry about that.

Mirrored:
having a surface like a mirror; reflective.
"mirrored sunglasses"
