This image shows a single, aged newspaper clipping, dated Friday, January 13, 1933, from The Evening Bulletin in Providence, R.I. It is preserved in a green archival folder, and a handwritten “150” appears on the top left corner of the page, likely an archival index number.

The clipping is part of a “Press Clipping Service” and features a prominent headline:

Art-for-Bonds Exhibition Opens Tonight; $638,425 in War Securities Already Sold

The article details a major fundraising effort in Providence, Rhode Island, during the Depression era, where the local art community is using art exhibitions as a means to sell war bonds. Key points include:

• A “War Finance Committee” has been formed with 1,800 members.
• The exhibition opens at the Rhode Island School of Design Museum of Art.
• The event is designed to “help the needy of the state,” and a “bond sales booth” will be open throughout the exhibition.
• $638,425 worth of war securities have already been sold.
• Artistic participation is widespread, with contributions from the museum, the “Providence Society of Artists,” and private collectors.
• An “Art-for-Bonds” committee is managing the event alongside the War Finance Committee.
• The article notes the exhibition will feature “the first exhibition of the work of East Paton” – likely a typographical error for East Paton (possibly East Paton or East Paton), which could refer to a collection or artist associated with the area.
• A list of names follows, including “Miss Margaret F. Walden,” “Mrs. Edward J. C. P. D. W. B. P. M.”, and many others, likely patrons, artists, or organizers.

Additionally, the clipping includes a small black-and-white photograph captioned:

WASHINGTON BUREAU AGAIN. — The famous Gilbert Stuart painting comes back to the White House for the first time in 135 years, and is now on display at the Rhode Island School of Design Museum of Art, along with “the first exhibition of the work of East Paton and East Paton,” according to the article.

This appears to reference a notable loan of the portrait of George Washington by Gilbert Stuart — known as the “Lansdowne Portrait” — to the museum. The article also mentions artists Walter G. P. Peters and Robert Whistler as part of the “present-day American paintings” section of the exhibit.

Overall, the clipping captures a moment in Depression-era civic life where the arts and finance intersected to support community welfare through patriotic fund-raising via art exhibitions.
