This image shows a printed newspaper clipping mounted on a page inside a scrapbook or binder.
The clipping is an article titled “The doctor who treats Old Crome.” It tells the story of Norman Goldberg, a former New York surgeon who became an authority on the British landscape artist John Crome (1768–1821). The article explains that Goldberg’s career as a Crome expert began when he bought a small painting by Crome at auction in 1950 — an acquisition that eventually led him to author a two-volume treatise on the artist’s works.
The article is laid out in three columns. The central column features the headline and a black-and-white reproduction of a landscape painting, which the caption beneath identifies as “An Old Watermill.” This painting depicts a rural scene with a building nestled among trees beside what appears to be a body of water or millrace.

It notes that even institutions like the British Museum were fooled by these forgeries.
The right column begins by introducing John Crome and reiterates how Goldberg never dreamed he would become an authority on the artist.
