Buck, a bearded expert from Harvard University's Fogg Art Museum, is working at the National Gallery in London to restore the woodwork of the million-dollar painting "The Nativity" by Piero della Francesca, which was completed in 1490. Previous restoration attempts, including one four years prior, have not been successful, as new cracks have appeared. Buck, an authority on restoring old masters, has discovered that beneath the filled worm-holes, there is an extensive network of worm tunnels reaching down to the painting itself. These tunnels need to be treated before Buck can attach a fresh wood backing, for which strips of balsa wood will be used.

Content:
Richard D. Buck, an expert from Harvard University's Fogg Art Museum, is working on restoring the woodwork of the million-dollar painting of the Nativity by Piero della Francesca, which dates back to 1490. The painting has undergone several restoration attempts in the past.
A significant treatment was administered about four years ago, but since then, two large cracks have reappeared.
As a specialist in the restoration of old masterpieces, Buck discovered an issue using a dentist’s probe. He found that underneath a previously treated layer filled with wormholes and tunnels, there is another unexplored system of worm tunnels extending directly into the painting itself.
To address this, the affected areas will need to be treated before Buck undertakes the more extensive job of attaching a freshwood backing to the painting. Strips of balsa wood will be used in this restoration process.

As an authority on the restoration of old masters, Buck has found—using an instrument similar to a dentist's probe—that underneath a layer of filled worm-holes and tunneling is another unexplored system of worm tunnels reaching right down to the painting itself. These will have to be treated before he tackles the job of putting a freshwood backing on the painting. Strips of balsa will be used.
The clipping is neatly cut and pasted onto a white background, indicating that it was likely preserved for archival or reference purposes.
