There are additional pieces of paper attached to the right page, likely newspaper clippings or notes, with visible text fragments and dates.

In the center of the page, there is a blank sheet of paper, possibly for additional notes or clippings.

The right-hand page is largely covered by a large, off-white piece of paper or cardstock, which appears to be glued or taped down to protect or obscure an underlying item. This covering has several smaller, rectangular beige tape reinforcements along its edges and across its surface. In the upper right corner of this page, the number “124” is faintly visible in handwritten pencil.

The left-hand page, and partially the right, are adorned with newspaper clippings meticulously pasted down. Two prominent clippings are visible:

1. Top Left Clipping: This is from a newspaper titled “Journal, Providence, R.I.” dated “JUN 2 1924.” The article discusses the history of oil painting, mentioning the Harvard Museum’s collection, tempera painting, and the use of egg yolk as a binding medium in early art, particularly in Italy and France. It references the 13th century and mentions the “white and the yolk” of eggs being used as paint.

2. Bottom Right Clipping (partially on the right page): This clipping is from “The North Window” by Lelia Munshin, published in “The Eye-Opener” in Washington on “JUN 2, 1924.” The beginning of the article is visible, discussing the “history of art” and making a distinction between “tempera painting” and “oil painting,” noting that tempera “lasted only three or four hundred years” before being succeeded by oil.
