This image shows a collection of newspaper clippings and printed articles from 1916, related to the Fogg Art Museum, which is now part of the Harvard Art Museums. The articles cover various topics:
Additions to the Museum's Collection: The museum has recently acquired 32 prints by famous 19th-century masters such as Millet, Jacque, Daubigny, Corot, and Rousseau. These prints were added to the permanent collection through gifts and purchases. The articles mention that these prints are of the highest quality and will serve to stimulate interest in the work of the "1830 men," a reference to a group of artists from the 1830s. The prints are a gift from Mr. David Keppel of New York in memory of his father.
Lectures on Chinese Art: Mr. Langdon Warner will give a series of ten lectures on "The Development of Chinese Art." The lectures will cover various topics such as the Art of the Great Trade Route, the Establishment of Buddhist Art in China, the Golden Age and the Japanese Heritage, and more. The lectures will be held in the large lecture room of the museum at 4 p.m. and are open to the public.
Prizes in the Fine Arts: The Department of Fine Arts announces prizes for the best original painting in oil or water color and the best drawing in pencil, pen, or wash made directly from nature. The prizes are $50 and $25, respectively. The committee of award will consist of the members of the Division of Fine Arts or a group of members or other persons whom the division may designate.
Timothy Cole to Lecture: Timothy Cole, a veteran wood engraver, will give a lecture at the Fogg Art Museum on the art of wood engraving. The lecture will discuss the decline of wood engraving and the few remaining practitioners of the art.
New Loans at the Fogg Art Museum: The museum has new loans of Old Italian and Flemish masterpieces on temporary exhibition. The Italian picture is "The Magdalen" by Alessandro Bonvicino, and the Flemish pictures are by unidentified masters. The pictures will remain on exhibition for several weeks.
The clippings are dated from March 10, 1916, to March 17, 1916, and are from various sources including "The Crimson," "The Gazette," and others. The text is in English and is written in a formal, journalistic style typical of the early 20th century. The clippings are neatly arranged and appear to be part of a scrapbook or a collection of news articles related to the Fogg Art Museum.
This is a framed collage of vintage newspaper clippings from March 1916, documenting recent acquisitions, exhibitions, and lectures at the Fogg Art Museum (now part of the Harvard Art Museums) in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Article 1: "Fogg Art Museum"
This article is dated March 11, 1916, and discusses the museum's acquisition of thirty-two prints by Whistler. It also mentions the addition of two interesting lithographs by Whistler, which are considered to be of the very highest quality and should serve to stimulate interest in the work of the "1830 men."
Article 2: "Prizes in the Fine Arts"
This article is dated March 17, 1916, and announces the prizes in fine arts through the generosity of Henry S. Bowditch, '69, of New York, the Department of Fine Arts. The prizes include $50 for the best original painting in oil or water color made by an undergraduate in any of the courses in Fine Arts during the year.
Article 3: "New Loans at Fogg Art Museum"
This article is dated March 17, 1916, and discusses the new loans at the Fogg Art Museum. It mentions that an Italian and two Flemish paintings have just been placed on exhibition in the main gallery of the Fogg Art Museum. The Italian picture is called "The Magdalen" and is the work of the distinguished provincial artist, Alessandro Bonvicino (1498-1554), called Moretto da Brescia.
Article 4: "Timothy Cole to Lecture"
This article is dated March 17, 1916, and announces that Timothy Cole will give a talk at the Fogg Art Museum next Tuesday evening. The article states that Mr. Cole, the veteran wood engraver, will lecture on the Fogg Museum on the art which has been practiced with this art in these days of cheap, mechanical reproduction. There is little demand on the part of publishers of books and magazines for the kind of work that Mr. Cole does, and more and more are called into being the cheap, black and white, which a generation ago would have been considered beneath the notice of artists and craftsmen are almost unknown. The once flourishing school of American wood engravers dwindled to two: Timothy Cole and Henry Wolf, and these two men, who have devoted their lives to the practice of this art, have very few imitators, and no pupils to carry on their work.
Overall, the image provides a glimpse into the activities and exhibitions of the Fogg Art Museum in 1916, highlighting the museum's commitment to showcasing fine art and promoting artistic excellence.
