The image shows a press clipping from the Bristol Herald-Courier, dated May 19, 1949. The clipping is from the Press Clipping Bureau located at 165 Church Street in New York. The article is titled "Harvard Expert Renews Paintings."
The article discusses Richard D. Buck, a bearded expert from Harvard University's Fogg Art Museum, who is working at the National Gallery in London to restore a million-dollar painting of the Nativity by Piero della Francesca, completed in 1490. The painting has suffered significant damage over time, including two large cracks that appeared despite previous restoration efforts.
Buck, an authority on restoring old masterpieces, discovered an unexplored network of worm tunnels beneath the paint layers using a dentist's probe. These tunnels are causing the paint to flake off. To address this, Buck plans to treat the worm-holes and tunnels and then apply a fresh wood backing to the painting. He will also use strips of balsa wood to support the fragile artwork during the restoration process.
