This image shows a historical newspaper clipping, mounted on a backing board and protected within a clear plastic sleeve. The clipping consists of several clippings from the Boston Transcript, dated March 14, 15, and 17, 1913, all reporting on events at the Fogg Art Museum (now part of the Harvard Art Museums).

The articles focus on two main exhibitions:

  1. The Turner Exhibition: A loan exhibition of works by the renowned British artist J. M. W. Turner, featuring large and beautiful oil paintings, watercolors, and pencil sketches. The exhibition opened on Saturday, March 15, 1913, and was set to run for two weeks. The paintings were loaned by Mr. Francis Bartlett, Mrs. Henry C. Angell, and Messrs. M. Knoedler & Co. of Boston and New York. The articles also mention an exhibition of mezzotints from Turner’s Liber Studiorum in the Print Room at the same time.

  2. The Gaddi Painting: The Fogg Museum had recently received a loan of an important early Italian primitive painting attributed to AgnoIo Gaddi, a 14th-century painter in the tradition of Giotto. The work, titled “The Annunciation, the Nativity, the Crucifixion, and the Entombment,” is described as “a superb example of fourteenth century Italian painting” with “great delicacy of finish and in rich, glowing colors.”

  3. The Scopas Head: The museum also received a loan of a beautiful Greek marble head from the 4th century B.C., attributed to Scopas. This fragment was noted for its resemblance to the famous Meleager sculpture, which the museum also possessed.

The articles also mention upcoming informal conferences on the works of art at the museum, with speakers including Professor George H. Chase, Mr. Langdon Warner, and Professor Arthur Pope.

The paper is yellowed with age, and the clippings are arranged on two separate sheets that have been folded. Handwritten annotations, such as “Gazette Mar 14” and “Manuscript Mar 15, 1913,” are visible on the original clippings, likely added for archival purposes. The overall document provides a detailed snapshot of the Fogg Art Museum’s activities and acquisitions in early 1913.
