Layout and Content:

The page is titled “REDISCOVER AMERICA” in large, bold, black capital letters at the top, oriented upside down from the viewer’s perspective. Below this, upside-down text reads: “Scotties salutes our beautiful country with regional accents for your home.” This suggests the page is part of a special feature.

The main article, titled “ART / Continued”, discusses an art exhibition at Harvard University. The text is arranged in three columns:

• Left Column: Introduces the exhibition, dedicated to Prof. Benjamin Rowland, Jr., and explains the history of art collecting at Harvard, particularly the Portrait Collection. It mentions the rarity of American art from the 18th century at the university until the opening of the Fogg Museum in 1895.

• Center Column: Details notable portraits of American figures on display, including:

  • John Trumbull’s portrait of John Adams.
  • Gilbert Stuart’s portraits of John Quincy Adams and John Adams’ son.

  • Edward Savage’s painting of Washington done in New York.
  • Gilbert Stuart’s “Vaughn” portrait of Washington.
  • A portrait of Jefferson by Stuart.
    The text also mentions the Peabody Collection at Harvard’s Peabody Museum, which includes paintings of American Indian life.

• Right Column: Lists portraits of Native Americans, such as:

  • Charles Bird King’s portrait of Little Elk, the Winnebago Chief.
  • George Caleb Bingham’s “Concealed Enemy” and “Wan-e-te-on,” the Sioux chieftain, by George Catlin.
    It also describes early landscapes (notably Alvan Fisher’s “View of Harvard Yard,” circa 1821) and sculpture, including marble busts by Hiram Powers and portraits of Edmonia Lewis and Longfellow by 19th-century sculptors.

Illustrations:

• Top Left: A black-and-white photograph of two portraits hanging on a wall, one of which appears to be a man in a white wig (likely a colonial-era figure).

• Top Right: A black-and-white portrait of a woman with dark hair and a light-colored dress with lace trim. She is looking slightly to her left with a thoughtful expression.

• Bottom Center: A large, black-and-white illustration of an ornate, two-handled silver bowl with intricate floral and scrollwork designs. The caption below identifies it as: “The Holyoke Cup (1700), two-handled silver bowl designed by John Coney.”

The overall tone of the page is historical and educational, focusing on American art from the colonial and early national periods housed at Harvard. The upside-down title and subtitle suggest this might be the first page of a fold-out or special section within the publication.
