This image shows the front page of The Christian Science Monitor Weekly Magazine Section, dated Boston, July 1, 1944.
The page is printed on aged, slightly yellowed paper, with visible creases and a small tear on the bottom-left corner, indicating its age. It is laid on a larger, tan-colored backing sheet.
Dominating the page is a monochrome photograph of an oval cameo or relief sculpture featuring a classical female figure. She is draped in flowing robes, holding and playing a harp. Her head is crowned with a wreath or diadem, and she is posed dynamically, turning slightly to her left. The style is neoclassical, evoking ancient Greek or Roman art.
At the base of the figure, within the cameo, the word “TERPSICHORE” is inscribed — identifying the figure as Terpsichore, the Greek Muse of dance and chorus, often depicted with a lyre or harp.
Below the image, there is a paragraph of text:
“IF YOU CAN FIND IT IN YOUR HEART to Sell Them . . . Set What Price Upon Them You Please,” Wrote Josiah Wedgwood to His Partner About Such Items as This Cameo Titled “Muse” — See “Potter Perfectionist,” Pages 8-9.
In the bottom right corner, the credit reads: “Fogg Museum of Art, Harvard University”, indicating the source of the photograph.
In summary, this is a historical page from The Christian Science Monitor’s 1944 magazine section, combining art, history, and literature to celebrate the legacy of Josiah Wedgwood, centered around a beautiful classical image of Terpsichore, the Muse of dance.
