Here is a description of each clipping:

1. Top Left Clipping (Waterbury, Conn. - May 12, 1964):

   • Headline: "Portrait Loaned To Fair"
   • Content: This article reports that a 1790 portrait of Mary Floyd Tallmadge and her children, painted by Revolutionary War artist Ralph Earl, was loaned to the New York World’s Fair. The portrait belongs to the Litchfield Historical Society Museum and was displayed in the “Four Centuries of American Masterpieces” gallery. The article notes that the painting, which usually hangs in the Tallmadge family portrait gallery, had been on exhibit locally for years and would be returned after the fair ended. It also mentions that the loan was approved by the museum's trustee, Alexander Liggett, and the conservator, Miss Elizabeth Jones, under whose supervision the portrait was restored in 1957.
   • Handwritten Annotation: There is a handwritten name, "Alex Liggett," circled and underlined, seemingly annotating the text.

The exhibit, sponsored by the Friends of the Library and the Fogg Art Museum, featured 50 paintings and a sculpture. The winners were to be announced at a “coffee hour” on Thursday night. The winning sculpture, “Christ Blessing the Children,” by Charles H. Pizano, was to be inscribed on a silver Paul Revere Bowl, which had been used for similar awards in the past.
