I would suggest that the the story be updated so everyone could learn about how this was proven to be a forgery and if anyone in the Conservation Laboratory or Marty Krause remembers the earlier examination that I refered to in my earlier note. This situation could be a great learning tool. Marty It appears that my recollection was correct and that the our Roman Head is a Forgery or so the TL test seem to confirm.

I think we had a question as to whether or not it could be a fake. I hope the full technical exam is put on line once it is completed these art questions of fake or real are always fun to follow.

Still might be there. Princeton also has all of Tarkington's papers, too. So his letters from that period are probably all there, too.

You look rather comfortable looking through the conservation department's new scope. I have some more & variety images if anyone would like to see them. Nice post, Chelsey.
