The most prominent feature is a large, black-and-white reproduction of a painting occupying the upper left quadrant of the page. Below this image, the caption reads:

Old Street, Quebec
A Painting by Preston Dickinson, American Artist, Whose Work is Shown at the Daniel Gallery, New York.

The artwork itself is rendered in a dynamic, somewhat angular or cubist style, depicting a steep, narrow street descending toward a body of water, lined with buildings. Figures are visible on the steps and in the street. In the foreground, a close-up, abstracted detail of what appears to be a hat and possibly a face or bust adds a modernist, almost surreal element to the composition.

To the right of the painting and beneath it runs a dense column of text — the “Notes of the Art World” — which is a review or commentary on various artists and exhibitions. The text mentions several painters, including:

• Preston Dickinson (the artist of the reproduced painting)
• Terburg (or Ter Borch) — noted for his “small, exquisite, smiling” style.
• Jan Steen — mentioned for his “lively” and “humorous” genre scenes.
• Paul Potter and Jan van Goyen — Dutch masters referred to in the context of landscape painting.
• Jan Steen and Jan van Goyen — also discussed for their mastery of light, detail, and genre painting.
• Jan Boeckhorst, Jan Steen, and Pieter de Hooch — mentioned in the context of Dutch 17th-century painting.

The article discusses “Genre Paintings,” the “Dutch Little Masters” (referring to Dutch 17th-century painters who worked in small, detailed formats), and contrasts their style with modern American artists.

The paper itself is visibly yellowed with age, with some minor tears and worn edges, especially along the right side near the spine. The font is a traditional serif typeface common in newspapers of the era. A thin, decorative border frames the main illustration of the painting.
