This image displays an open, aged newspaper, specifically The Boston Globe, dated Thursday, October 28, 1971 (page 51). The paper has a yellowed, vintage appearance, characteristic of newsprint from the early 1970s.
The page is dominated by two large, vertically aligned articles, with a smaller calendar section at the bottom left.
Headline: $10 gamble wins Rembrandt print
This article, written by Alicia Faxon for Special to the Globe, tells the story of a fortunate discovery. An individual, while browsing in a small store in an "outmoded village," found a 19th-century print of Rembrandt’s "Christ at Emmaus" in a "tall Victorian leatherbound volume." Initially dismissed by the proprietor as just a "copy," the buyer, intrigued by the paper's quality and the etching's detail, purchased it for $10.
After taking it to the Fogg Museum's print room, museum staff identified it as a rare fourth-state etching, a significant discovery. The article details the verification process, including microscopic examination and comparison with the museum's catalogue, concluding it was worth "About $600."
It notes that the Fogg Museum had previously acquired another 19th-century print from the same collection via a dealer for "Say $400-600 to be safe."
Headline: Look at Art: Pulitzer Collection at Fogg
This is a review by Jolene Goldenthal (byline date: The Hartford Courant, Sunday, December 5, 1971) of the recently opened Pulitzer Collection at the Fogg Museum.
The article describes the collection as a "gathering of fine pieces, drawing (few), paintings and sculpture," assembled by Joseph Pulitzer, Jr., and his wife, Louise Vauclain Pulitzer.
It highlights a few key pieces:
The review concludes that "the sculpture portion of the collection is quite strong" and "the total collection" is "very fine."
(Note: There is a small captioned image in the bottom right of this article depicting a sculpture, identified as "Study for Venus with Necklace" by Aristide Maillol.)
Headline: The Calendar
Beneath this, there's a small, blurry photograph of two people and a caption that begins with "8" and is dated "January 7, 1972."
The text mentions an exhibition at The Gazette featuring artifacts from the 4th century B.C., including a sculpture of a seated king (likely from the Sardinia Collection) and artifacts related to the Roman Empire and the Persians. It credits Professor George M.A. Hanfmann (Archaeology) as the director and lists supporting foundations.
The page layout is typical of newspapers of the era, with columnar text and a few small black-and-white photographs. The overall theme of the page is art and cultural discovery, featuring both a sensational find and a scholarly review.
