Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label on verso, BC: 7/62 26) OH FOR THE DEAR DEAD PAST: the despair of the Italian marble \ athlete dates from 1825, but he might well be bemoaning the \ fact that he is up for auction, as were all the furnishings \ in "The Elms", one of the last of the old millionaire mansions \ in fashionable Newport (R.I.). \ CREDIT: Bill Hubbell © 1962 MAGNUM Photos
