Bottom Left Clipping (Two Articles Combined):

• This section features an article titled “HEAD OF A DANCER” by William Germain Dooley, which discusses the Italian sculptor Antonio Canova.

Note: One small, rectangular clipping is also partially visible overlapping the bottom-right edge of the Globe article, but its text is mostly obscured or too small to read reliably. The date on the Globe clipping is clearly legible as Oct. 10, 1971.
