The image shows an open scrapbook with two newspaper clippings pasted onto one of its pages. The page is dated "May 11, 1973," and the scrapbook is labeled "Harvard University Gazette."

The first clipping at the top features a drawing. The caption below the drawing reads: "An exhibition of the works of Ferdinand Hodler (1853-1918) opened last week at the Busch-Reisinger, after a benefit concert by the Telemann Society, a gala black-tie reception of Swiss wines and Swiss cheeses, and a preview for Associates of the Museum and Friends of the Fogg. The collection covers the walls of most of the first floor of the Busch-Reisinger. This one is one of a series of 'The Dying Madame Valentine Godé-Darel.'"

The second clipping below it is titled "A definite must-see is the FERDINAND HODLER exhibit at the Busch-Reisinger, Harvard. Hodler was, along with P. de Chavannes, probably the most important innovator of monumental decorative painting at the turn of the century. The influence of his work on the Symbolist and Art Nouveau movements in France and Germany was immense. His figure in the Symbolist art of the period was a bridge between the romanticism of Delacroix and the modernism of Matisse and the Fauves. He was also a great portraitist, and the portrait of his wife, shown here, is a fine example of his work. The exhibit, which includes many of his drawings as well as some free, colorful landscapes, will be on view until May 20."

The clipping is additionally annotated with "The Real Paper, May 16, 1973" handwritten at the bottom.
