Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays an open, vintage scrapbook or bound volume of newspaper clippings, showing two pages filled with historical articles and illustrations.

The pages are aged, with a yellowed, brittle appearance, suggesting they are from the early 20th century. The left page features three large, black-and-white illustrations:

1. Top: A large caricature-style sketch of a man’s head and shoulders, shown in profile, enclosed in a circle. He appears stern or contemplative.
2. Middle: A full-length, side-view illustration of a man in formal attire, possibly a suit, with a serious expression.
3. Bottom: A full-length, frontal illustration of a man wearing a bowler hat and a suit, with a slight smile, holding a cane or umbrella. He appears to be a businessman or broker.

Surrounding these illustrations are snippets of newspaper text, some partially torn or obscured. One caption near the top illustration reads: “No wonder the advertising expert gets tired. This morning he’s working on the ‘Princess Crosspatch Hairnet’ campaign...”

The right page is primarily filled with columns of newspaper text, with a large headline reading: “FENWAY COURT OPEN FROM 12 TO 9 FOR ‘HARVARD DAY’.” This article discusses events at the Fogg Art Museum (now part of the Harvard Art Museums), including the opening of the museum for Harvard men, the development of an American Beaux Arts center, and recent acquisitions (including a capital from Avignon Cathedral and charcoal drawings by John S. Sargent).

A small, handwritten note in blue ink is visible at the top right, seemingly indicating “American Magazine Oct. 1918 No. 5.” The dates “Apr. 7, 1923” and “Apr. 11, 1923” are also handwritten on the right page, likely indicating the dates of the events or clippings.

The scrapbook spine and cover (partially visible) appear worn, and the overall presentation suggests a personal or institutional archive preserving cultural and institutional news from Harvard University in the 1920s. The arrangement reflects the common practice of collecting and preserving newspaper articles of historical or personal interest.
