The article text below the photo explains that with the new Fogg Museum building completed and interior arranged, Harvard’s authorities — via an anonymous $5,000 gift — turned their attention to landscaping the grounds at the back. It describes plans to extend a wall along the entire block on Quincy Street to shield the grounds from surrounding factories and apartment houses. The grill shown in the photo is meant to provide a vista down the garden’s main axis, with museum entrance generally occurring through the court and terrace.

The image caption explains that the building is complete and the interior arranged, and the museum authorities, supported by an anonymous gift, are focusing on the grounds at the back. The photo shows the grille in the Quinby Street Wall, which is intended to divert attention to the Arnold Arboretum and suggests walling in the entire block against the "inroads of factories and apartment houses." The grille from the street promises a vista down the main axis of the garden, and entrance will generally be through the museum, via the court and terrace.
Below the photograph and its description, there's a faded section with the title "Gazette" and below it "FOGG ART MUSEUM June 30-July 4."
