“ WONDERFUL DISCOVERY! – Some six months ago Signor John Smitthee, an American gentleman now a resident of Rome, purchased for a trifle a small piece of land in the Campagna and had transferred it to a poor American artist named George Arnold , explaining that he did it as payment for damage accidentally done by him long ago upon some property belonging to Signor Arnold. Later Mr. Smitthe decided to do some improvements of the land at his own expenses. Four weeks ago, while making some necessary excavations, Signor Smitthe unearthed the most remarkable ancient statue. It was an exquisite figure of a woman. The nose, the left leg from the knee down , an ear, and also the toes of the right foot and two fingers of the one hand were gone, but otherwise the noble figure was in a remarkable state of preservation. The government appointed a commission of art critics, antiquaries and cardinals to assess its value and determine the remuneration that must go to the owner of the ground. The last night the commission decided unanimously that the statue was a Venus, and the work of some unknown but sublimely gifted artist of the third century before Christ.
At midnight they held a final conference and decided that Venus was worth ten million franks! In accordance with Roman law the government , being the half owner of all works of art found in Italy , the state could nothing but pay five million francs to Mr. Arnold and take permanent possession of the beautiful statue. This morning the Venus will be removed to the Capitol, and at noon the commission will hand Signor Arnold five million francs in gold due to him.”
