This image displays a vintage newspaper clipping from The Democrat and Leader of Davenport, Iowa, dated July 1, 1948. The clipping is mounted on a larger piece of off-white paper and appears to have been cut and pasted, possibly from a press clipping bureau.
At the top of the clipping is a small, faded label from Burrelle's Press Clipping Bureau, established in 1888, located at 165 Church Street, New York, with a Barclay phone number (7-5371). The label also indicates the clipping is for “DAVENPORT, IA. Democrat and Leader” and includes circulation figures (Cir. D. 14,946 - S. 20,077).
The main content is a black-and-white photograph accompanied by a caption. The photograph shows a man in a light-colored lab coat and dark cap — identified in the caption as Richard Buck — leaning over and closely examining a large framed painting. The painting depicts a classical religious scene with several figures, including a woman in the center holding a child, another woman reaching out, and other onlookers; it appears to be a Baroque or colonial-era religious altarpiece.
The caption below the photo reads:
EXPERT EXAMINES GALLERY PIECES—Richard Buck, a member of the department of conservation at the Fogg Museum of Art, Harvard university, is shown examining one of the paintings in the Mexican colonial collection at the Davenport Municipal Art gallery. Buck is gathering facts pertinent to Mexican art, and will give a report to the Davenport gallery, as well as the Fogg museum. The collection of Mexican colonial art here is one of the most complete in any gallery.
The clipping shows signs of age: yellowed paper, slight fraying along the edges, and faint adhesive marks where it was affixed. A red underline has been drawn under the words “the Mexican colonial” in the caption, likely added later for emphasis.
