Levy Modern Art Collection To Go to 15 U.S. Museums
The article describes how a collection of 35 modern art paintings, valued at $1,500,000, is being distributed among 15 U.S. museums. The collection was assembled by Adele R. Levy, whose daughter, Mrs. Levy (formerly Miss Deborah of Greenwich), is mentioned as the executor. The article lists the museums receiving the art, including the Whitney Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Art Institute of Chicago. It also notes that Mrs. Levy, an artist and collector, died in March 1960.

This clipping, from a newspaper in Nashua, N.H., features a column titled:
F.H.D.’s AROUND THE TOWN
The main article is titled:
Recalls Prank Played by Ex-Nashua Rector
It recounts a humorous and historically curious incident from 1900 involving Rev. Reamer Kline, formerly rector of the Good Shepherd Church in Nashua. The article describes how Kline had a prank involving an old manuscript purportedly from the Apostle Paul — which was later identified as a forgery — placed in a Bible during a church service. The prank was part of a scholarly hoax related to the discovery of the “Patridge Fragment,” which Kline had sent to a Boston museum. The article details how the hoax was eventually uncovered, thanks to an analysis that revealed the ink was modern and used only on the outer edges of the manuscript.
The column also includes brief local gossip under the heading “GIRLS AND ENDS...” and mentions local figures including Bob Harvey and F.F. Murphy.
Overall Impression:
The image captures a personal or historical archive of press clippings from mid-20th century New England, preserved with care. The juxtaposition of a major art donation and a small-town ecclesiastical prank suggests someone with diverse interests — perhaps an art enthusiast or a local historian — collecting noteworthy news from their region. The handwritten notes add a personal, archival touch.
This image appears to be a scanned page from a newspaper or a similar publication, dated from June 11, 1962, and June 12, 1962. The content of the page includes two articles.
The first article, titled "Levy Modern Art Collection To Go to 15 U.S. Museums," discusses the distribution of a modern art collection valued at $1,500,000 among 15 museums in the United States. It mentions the Adele R. Levy Fund, Inc., and highlights the works of artists such as Matisse, Braque, Manet, Degas, Seurat, and others. The article also mentions the beneficiaries of the gift, including museums and educational institutions in various cities across the U.S.
The second article, titled "F.H.D's AROUND the TOWN," recounts a prank played by a former Nashua Rector, Rev. Reamer Kline, at the Nashua Episcopal Church. The article narrates how Kline and a classmate created a fake manuscript fragment in the early 1930s, which was believed to be an ancient manuscript by some scholars. The article provides details about the prank, including the materials used, the reaction of the scholars involved, and the eventual revelation of the deception.
Both articles are accompanied by typewritten notes or labels at the top, possibly indicating the source of the articles (New England Newsclip Agency, Inc.) and the date of the clipping.
