At the top of the sheet, handwritten in dark ink, is a title: "American Art News - Mar 7, 1914" followed by a subtitle: "Article referring to Fogg Museum."
The sheet contains five distinct, typed newspaper clippings, arranged in a two-column layout. All clippings are from the "Gazette" and bear the heading "FOGG ART MUSEUM", indicating they are reports on exhibitions and donations at the Fogg Art Museum (now part of the Harvard Art Museums) in 1914.
The clippings detail various exhibitions and donations:
Top Left (March 7, 1914): Reports on an exhibition of engravings on copper, highlighting prints from the Gray and Randall collections, including works by Otto, Botticelli, and Dürer. It also mentions two new paintings in the main gallery: an Assumption of the Virgin by a Flemish School artist and a fragment of a King Philip II portrait, attributed to Pantoja de la Cruz. Finally, it notes the temporary display of Japanese armor from the early Tokugawa period, recently sent by President Lowell from the Imperial University of Tokyo.
Top Right (March 28, 1914): Repeats information about the English monumental brass rubbings (given by Mrs. George Fiske in memory of her husband, Class of 1872) and the Japanese Tokugawa armor. It adds new information: Mr. Joseph A. Blake donated an oil portrait of General Joseph Hayes (Class of 1855), and Rev. Charles A. Humphreys donated a crayon portrait of Captain Thomas B. Fox, Jr. (Class of 1860). Both portraits were to be placed in Memorial Hall.
Bottom Left (March 21, 1914): Repeats details of the copper engraving exhibition. It announces that "The Society of Friends of the Fogg Art Museum" was raising funds to purchase a Siennese Annunciation by Andrea Vanni. It notes that nearly half the money had been raised. It also lists new loans: a Dead Christ by Michele Giambono (lent by Mr. Horace Morison, Class of 1900) and a Giotto-esque picture of Pope Innocent III (lent by Mr. Lazzaro Bastiani, and the Venetian Madonna and Child lent by H.E. Wetzel, Class of 1911, which were returning to the museum).
Middle Right (April 4, 1914): Reports on a new exhibition of book-plates etched by George W. Eve and lent by Mr. Pierre la Rose. The designs are described as "heraldic" and "the most interesting work of this kind done since the time of Dürer and the Little Masters." The collection includes plates from the royal library of Windsor Castle and English nobility. It also repeats the information about the English brass rubbings and the Japanese Tokugawa armor.
Bottom Right (April 11, 1914): This clipping is nearly identical to the one dated April 4, 1914, also detailing the exhibition of George W. Eve's book-plates and once again mentioning the Japanese armor on display.
Overall, the document is a curated collection of clippings documenting the acquisitions, loans, and temporary exhibitions at the Fogg Art Museum during the spring of 1914, with a particular focus on prints, armor, and portraits. The repetition of some items across multiple dates likely indicates they were ongoing or noteworthy exhibitions. The physical state of the paper and the archiving method suggest its historical value.
