This image displays a vintage, open book or magazine spread, laid flat on a neutral surface. The pages are visibly aged, with a yellowed, sepia-toned hue and slightly frayed, irregular edges, suggesting historical or archival value.

The central focus is an article titled “Wood Engraver” with a sub-headline, “CLARE LEIGHTON in Wellfleet studio. She has lectured in Worcester several times.” The text is arranged in multiple columns, with the main article continuing from a preceding page.

It mentions her exhibitions, publications she has illustrated, and her involvement with the National Institute of Arts and Letters.
• Handwritten Notes/Marks: There are several handwritten annotations visible on the pages:
  • On the upper right page, near the bottom right corner, a small circle has been drawn in red ink around the end of a sentence.
  • On the lower right page, a larger area of text is outlined with a red pen or pencil.
