[NJARC] Marconi Portrait

[Raymond F Chase]

Folks:

As many of you know, when Sarnoff Labs in Princeton closed the Sarnoff
Library, large portraits of Guglielmo Marconi and David Sarnoff were donated
to InfoAge.  The portrait of a young Marconi probably done around 1916 was
on display in the lobby of the hotel at InfoAge but has been missing for a
while.  The portrait probably had never been cleaned and somewhere along the
line had sustained a small hole in the canvas.  Through the diligent efforts
of the InfoAge trustees, funding was obtained from a local art group to pay
for a professional cleaning and restoration.  That was accomplished and the
"new" Marconi portrait was unveiled at the recent Wall Of Honor ceremony
last Saturday evening.  If you get a chance, stop by and take a look at the
results, a job well done and thanks to the trustees for getting it done.

Ray
