Key details from this ad:
The right page contains a newspaper clipping titled “Art News Aug. 18, ’28.” The headline reads:
“BLAKE DRAWINGS GO TO BRITISH MUSEUM”
The article, datelined London, reports that Mrs. Frances White Emerson of Boston has presented William Blake’s complete watercolor series for Young’s “Night Thoughts” to the Print Room of the British Museum. The piece notes the drawings were valued at 20 guineas originally, but estimated at between £10,000 and £50,000 in 1928. It recounts the provenance of the drawings, tracing their ownership from James Bain to Marston J. Perry, then to Mr. W.A. White of New York, and finally to his daughter, Mrs. Emerson, who gifted them to the British Museum. The article notes they had not been publicly viewed in America since being shown at the Burlington Fine Arts Club in 1876.
In summary, this image captures two distinct pieces of historical ephemera from 1928: a colorful, promotional advertisement for tourism in New England and a concise, serious report on a significant art donation to a major international museum. Both reflect cultural and commercial life in the late 1920s.

The image shows an open book with two pages. The left page is a magazine advertisement for a four-day auto tour to White Mountains, Maine, and the beautiful North Shore of Massachusetts.

The image depicts an open magazine page from The World's First Civic Magazine, dated Week of July 22, 1928. The page is divided into two main sections:
Overall, the image captures a blend of tourism promotion and cultural news, reflecting the interests and priorities of the time.
The image displays an open book with the left page featuring an advertisement or article from a magazine or newspaper. The headline reads "THIS WEEK IN BOSTON and the BEAUTIFUL NORTH SHORE of Massachusetts," and it's dated "WEEK OF JULY 22, 1928." This suggests it's a historical document or a reproduction of one.
The advertisement is for the "QUEEN LINE Four Day Auto Tour: White Mountains-Maine and New Hampshire's beautiful Beaches—Personally Conducted." It includes a pricing detail that says "For $39.50." This indicates that the tour was priced at $39.50, which would have been considered a significant amount of money in 1928. Below the text, there is an image of what appears to be an open-topped observation motor coach with several people on board, suggesting that this may have been the type of vehicle used for the tour.
There's also a reference to "Special Open Roofed Observation Pierce-Arrow Motor Coaches." The Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company was a luxury automotive manufacturer based in Buffalo, New York, that was known for producing high-quality and prestigious vehicles during the early 20th century.
The bottom section of this page lists destinations "Albany - Greenfield - North Adams" and the service provider "THE HART MOTORCOACH COMPANY – Reliable." It mentions a "Daily via Mohawk Trail, 8:30 Daylight Time" and provides terminal locations and contact telephone numbers.
On the right page, there's an article or notice under the heading "Art News" dated "Aug. 3, '28." The headline of the article states, "BLAKE DRAWINGS GO TO BRITISH MUSEUM." It details the acquisition of some drawings by William Blake, an English poet, painter, and printmaker, by the British Museum. The text speaks of Mrs. Frances White Emerson of Boston gifting these and other particulars involving valuation, previous ownership, and some history.
The image captures both a snippet of 1920s advertising style and cultural information about tour offerings and the art world at the time. The pages are yellowed with age, and the open book is bound in what appears to be a library or archive setting based on the binding and the label visible on the spine of the book.
The image shows an open book or scrapbook with two items pasted on the right-hand page.
On the left side, there is a green and cream magazine cover titled "THIS WEEK IN BOSTON and the BEAUTIFUL NORTH SHORE of Massachusetts" dated the week of July 22, 1928. Below the title, there is an advertisement for the "QUEEN LINE" promoting a four-day auto tour to the White Mountains in Maine and New Hampshire's beaches. The tour costs $39.50 and includes hotel expenses and a steamer sail on Casco Bay. The ad also mentions the N. E. Motor Tours Co., Hotel Lenox Boston, and some contact phone numbers. There is an image of a motor coach near the middle of the ad and a smaller image of another motor coach at the bottom, advertising routes through locations like Albany, Greenfield, North Adams, and the Mohawk Trail.
On the right side of the page, there is a newspaper clipping titled "BLAKE DRAWINGS GO TO BRITISH MUSEUM" from "Art News" dated Aug. 18, 1928.

The image shows a page from a scrapbook or binder. On the left is a vintage green advertisement page titled “THIS WEEK IN BOSTON” with a large illustration of a motor coach. It promotes a four-day Queen Line auto tour to White Mountains, Maine and New Hampshire, with route notes (Albany, Greenfield, North Adams) and text about The Hart Motorcoach Company. The right side of the page has a newspaper clipping headed “BLAKE DRAWINGS GO TO BRITISH MUSEUM,” about Blake’s drawings being sent to the British Museum, with a column of text beneath. The two pieces are taped into the same page, which has a handwritten note at the top of the clipping and a strap at the top from the binder. The overall feel is a 1920s-era travel advertisement and arts news clipping preserved in a scrapbook.
