The image appears to be a page from a scrapbook or an album, containing two newspaper clippings.

  1. The top clipping features a black-and-white photograph of several workers carefully moving a large sculpture of a smiling god and three deities. The caption reads: "This smiling god and three fellow deities were moved from the four corners of the old Gimbel Bros. atrium to the Busch-Reisinger Museum yesterday. It seems that they were all hung on grapples, but it took two trucks to make the move." The photograph is credited to Rachel Treichler of the Crimson.

  2. The bottom clipping shows a photograph of a clock tower with a clock face prominently displayed. The caption reads: "At ten o'clock on Tuesday, the clock on the Busch-Reisinger Museum was telling the time."

Both clippings are pasted onto a page of the album, which has a handwritten note in the margin that says "GREECE" and a date "9/11/67." The page is part of a section labeled "Classical," as indicated by a tab on the left side of the page.

The image appears to be a photo of a page from a scrapbook or album, containing clippings from a newspaper or magazine. The top clipping features a photo of a sculpture depicting a figure adorned with grapevines, possibly representing a deity associated with wine, such as Dionysus from Greek mythology. The caption explains that this sculpture and three others were moved from the corners of the Busch-Reisinger Museum's atrium due to fog. It humorously comments that they are 'all stoned on grapes' and notes that the move required two trucks.

Below that clipping is a smaller one showing a building, possibly part of the same museum, with a prominent clock on its facade. The building has a classical design with a dome on top. The caption mentions that at ten o'clock on Tuesday, the clock on the Busch-Reisinger Museum was telling the time, suggesting that the clock is a functional landmark of the museum. The date "2/4/72" is handwritten on the clipping, possibly indicating the date when the article was published or when the clippings were collected.

On the right-hand side, there is additional handwritten text, partly cut off, possibly representing notes or reminders related to the clippings or their content.

The image depicts an open book or album page featuring two distinct photographs, accompanied by accompanying text.

Top Photograph:

  • Content: The photograph shows a group of people interacting with a large, classical-style statue. The statue appears to be a male figure, possibly a god, depicted in a dynamic pose with one arm raised and the other holding an object. The statue is adorned with a wreath or crown on its head.
  • People: Several individuals are present around the statue. One person is positioned near the base of the statue, seemingly adjusting or stabilizing it, while others appear to be observing or assisting. The setting suggests an outdoor environment, possibly near a building or structure, with wooden beams and railings visible in the background.
  • Caption: Below the photograph, there is a caption that reads:
    "This smiling god and three fellow deities were moved from the four corners of the Fogg Museum's atrium to the Busch-Reisinger Museum yesterday. It seems that they were all stoned on grapes, and it took two trucks to make the move."
    The caption is attributed to "Crimson—Rachel Treichler."

Bottom Photograph:

  • Content: The photograph shows the exterior of a building with a prominent clock tower. The building has a domed roof and a clock face clearly visible. The architecture suggests a classical or institutional style, possibly a museum or university building.
  • Caption: Below this photograph, the text states:
    "At ten o'clock on Tuesday, the clock on the Busch-Reisinger Museum was telling the time."
    This indicates that the photograph was taken at a specific time, likely to document the relocation or transition of the statues mentioned in the top photograph.

  • Annotations: There are handwritten notes on the page, including the word "GAZETTE" and a date-like notation "2/11/12," suggesting that this page may have been part of a scrapbook or archive documenting events or news related to the Fogg Museum and the Busch-Reisinger Museum.

Overall Context:

The images and captions collectively document a historical event involving the relocation of classical statues from the Fogg Museum to the Busch-Reisinger Museum. The top photograph captures the physical movement of the statues, while the bottom photograph provides context by showing the destination—the Busch-Reisinger Museum—highlighting the clock tower at the time of the event. The handwritten notes and structured layout suggest this is part of a curated collection or archive, possibly from a newspaper or museum record.
