Right Page: Book Review
The right-hand page is an article from a publication, page number 274 visible at the bottom. It is a review titled:
A NEW BOOK BY KINGSLEY PORTER
The review focuses on the book Spanish Romanesque Sculpture by A. Kingsley Porter, listing its publishers as Pantheon (Florence) and Harcourt, Brace and Company (New York), with a price of $63.00.
The article contains two black-and-white photographs, both captioned:
DETAIL OF CORNICE, SANTO DOMINGO DE LA CALZADA (LOGRONOS)
These images show close-up carvings of stylized human faces from Romanesque architecture, one with a swirling hairstyle and the other with a veiled headdress.
The text of the review is highly critical, describing Professor Kingsley Porter (of Harvard) as an "indomitable enthusiast" whose "inexhaustible energy" has led him to support "unfavorable conviction[s]" and "maddening" claims, particularly regarding an early date for Spanish Romanesque architecture and his theory about Breton knights in Bari.
