The image appears to be a page from the Harvard Alumni Bulletin dated December 23, 1914. The title of the article is "Pictures in the Fogg Art Museum." It discusses the exhibition of artwork at the Fogg Art Museum, specifically mentioning two pencil drawings of Ypres by the early English master, Samuel Prout (1783-1852). The drawings were made from the Grande Place and represent the Hotel de Ville.
The article provides historical context about the buildings depicted in the drawings, including the Cloth Hall, Hotel de Ville, and the Cathedral of St. Martin. It notes that these structures were believed to have been destroyed by artillery fire, which was relevant to the historical context of the time, as World War I was underway.
The text also describes a painting attributed to Filippino Lippi, which is a Tondo representing the Madonna and Child and St. John. The piece is considered an important addition to the collection of Italian paintings at the Fogg Museum due to its beauty and the richness of its color.
At the bottom of the page, there is a note indicating that the text continues on the next page, with the word "OVER" written in the margin. The page is framed, suggesting it is part of a collection or archive.

This image displays a single page from the Harvard Alumni Bulletin, dated December 23, 1914, which is mounted on a larger, aged, and slightly torn piece of brown paper and preserved under clear plastic.
The article is titled “Pictures in the Fogg Art Museum” and discusses recent acquisitions and exhibitions at the museum. It highlights two pencil drawings of Ypres by the English artist Samuel Prout (1783–1852). These drawings depict the Grande Place and the Hotel de Ville, which the article notes were of special interest because the buildings had recently (at the time of writing) been destroyed by artillery fire during World War I.
An inset black-and-white reproduction of one of Prout’s drawings is featured in the center of the page, captioned “THE GRAND PLACE AND HOTEL DE VILLE AT YPRES.” It shows a detailed architectural sketch of the ornate Gothic-style town hall and surrounding buildings, with small figures and carriages populating the square.
The article continues to describe the history of the featured buildings: the Cloth Hall (begun in 1201, 230 feet high) and the Hotel de Ville (built in 1575). It also mentions a painting on loan to the museum — a tondo attributed to Botticelli or Filippino Lippi — depicting the Madonna and Child with St. John, which fills an important gap in the museum’s collection of Italian paintings.
The page appears to be page one of a multi-page article, as indicated by the word “OVER” printed in blue ink at the bottom right corner. The overall tone is one of scholarly reporting and cultural appreciation, underscored by a sense of historical urgency given the wartime destruction referenced.

The Christ Child is standing in her lap, with his arms around her neck. St. John is praying by his side, and has a red mantle thrown over his shoulders. The picture fills an important gap in the collection of Italian paintings at the Fogg Museum, and by the beauty of its color adds to the richness of effect in the gallery.
