Below that is an article titled “At Old Fogg Museum” about a Faculty of the School of Architecture exhibit, which includes “oils and water colors.” Another section, “FOGG ART MUSEUM,” details exhibitions of “winemasters’ cups of French silver,” “fascimile reproductions,” and “paintings, prints and drawings illustrative of Holland,” as well as watercolors by several artists, all scheduled for the period ending May 21.
Top Right: Portrait: A large, monochrome portrait of a woman with dark, wavy hair and a contemplative expression is prominently displayed. She appears to be dressed in period clothing with a high, ruffled collar.
Bottom Center: “Gazette.”: This appears to be a clipping from the Harvard Gazette, dated “April 25, ’25.” It reiterates information about the Fogg Art Museum’s exhibitions, including “winemasters’ cups of French silver, loaned by Mrs. Arthur T. Cabot” and the various other exhibitions.
Bottom Right: “The American Federation of Arts Convention in May”: This article reports on the “Nineteenth Annual Convention” of the American Federation of Arts. It describes the event as a “national Professors’ conference” and a “Protestants’ organization exclusively devoted to the Professors' interests of art.” It also mentions the growth of the Federation and its chapters across the United States.
Handwritten Notes: Faint pencil handwriting is visible at the top center, reading “Transcript May 2, ‘29,” likely indicating the date the clipping was saved.
