This is a photograph of a yellowed, aged newspaper page, identified at the top as “EL ARGENTINO” with the date “ABRIL, 13 DE 1949” (April 13, 1949).

The page features two main articles, each with its own headline and accompanying photo.


Left Article:

  • Headline: “En una reunión del P. D. N. se pr El gobernador I”
    • This appears to be a truncated headline, likely intended to read: “En una reunión del P.D.N. se presentó el gobernador Iriarte” (In a P.D.N. meeting, Governor Iriarte presented himself).
  • Sub-headline: “EN UNA DELIBERACIÓN DE MAS DE DOS HORAS ANALIZARON LOS EXTREMOS DE LA SITUACION Y LA CRISIS LATENTE”
    • (In a deliberation of more than two hours, they analyzed the aspects of the situation and the latent crisis).
  • Content: This article details a long meeting (over two hours) of the Provincial Democratic Party (P.D.N.) in Buenos Aires. It reports that the governor (likely the governor of Buenos Aires province) attended to discuss the political and economic situation. The text mentions specific officials, such as doctors Alberto Brolli and Rául C. Iriarte.
  • Photo: A black-and-white photograph of a man, likely Dr. Rául C. Iriarte, wearing a suit and tie, sitting at a desk with papers and what appears to be a telephone. He is looking slightly to his right.

Right Article:

  • Headline: “CAMINANDO POR NORTEAMERICA”
    • (Walking through North America).
  • Byline: “De Emilio Peterutti” (By Emilio Peterutti).
  • Sub-headline: “En la Universidad de Harvard” (At Harvard University).
  • Content: This is a cultural or educational feature article describing a “Program of Arts” at Harvard University, led by Mr. Edward W. Porter. It discusses the university’s initiative to promote the study of fine arts, including painting, sculpture, and music, by bringing practicing artists to campus to teach and interact with students. The article highlights the shift in American universities from purely theoretical study to practical, hands-on experience in the arts.
  • Photo:
    • A large photo on the right side shows a view of a university campus quad, with a prominent building labeled “HARVARD UNIVERSITY” on the gate or archway in the center. There are trees, pathways, and people walking, suggesting a typical day on campus.
    • Below this, a smaller photo shows a statue or bust of a man (possibly a historical figure associated with the university) set against an outdoor background.

Overall Appearance:

  • The paper is visibly aged, with a uniform yellow-brown tint and some creases, indicating its age.
  • The text is printed in a dense, columnar format typical of mid-20th-century newspapers.
  • The page appears to be preserved behind a protective cover, as indicated by two clear plastic or metal fasteners (one at the top, one at the bottom) on the right edge, securing it. The fasteners are not part of the original newspaper but are part of the preservation or display method.
