“ILLUSTRATED LECTURES TO BE GIVEN AT FOGG”

Below the title, a smaller subheading reads: “Prof. Morey of Princeton Gives First on March 31 on Mediæval Illumination — Exhibition of Illuminated Manuscripts Well Attended”.

The article, dated March 25, 1912 (as indicated by handwritten script “March 25, ’12”), announces two lectures at the Fogg Museum. The first lecture, on March 31, is by Professor Charles R. Morey of Princeton University on “Mediæval Illumination.” The second, on April 7, is by Professor Edward K. Rand on “Mediæval Script.” Both will be illustrated with lantern slides and open to the public.

The body of the article describes the success of the concurrent exhibition of illuminated manuscripts, noting approximately one thousand visitors in the first week, and praises the Morgan family’s generosity in lending the items.

The article then details three specific examples of English manuscripts:

1. The “Huntingfield Psalter” — A twelfth-century work, named for Roger de Huntingfield, connected to Mendham Priory. The article describes its twenty leaves of pictures (Old and New Testament scenes) and notes the fine, typically English illumination style, mentioning that it once belonged to William Morris.

2. An illustration of the “Life of King David” — A large twelfth-century leaf illustrating scenes from David’s life.

3. A thirteenth-century book — Representing the Morgan collection, it features delicate, minute scenes from the life of Christ, showing the refinement of illumination during this period.

The page is numbered “13” in the upper left margin. The paper is yellowed with age, and the binding visible on the right shows considerable wear and discoloration. A rectangular, slightly lighter patch is visible on the lower portion of the printed text, possibly a remnant of an adhesive or a repair. The left-hand page of the book is blank and turned down, showing its cream-colored interior.

The overall impression is that of a historical archive or clipping from an early 20th-century publication reporting on cultural events and art history.
