This image is of an open book or notebook showcasing an article on the left page, titled "Early German Engravers Not Known by Name."

The text explains how this Master gave a "first definite step forward" to the art of engraving, and emphasizes the importance of the work of these early engravers in the history of art.

The article is dated January 12, 1928, and is attributed to a transcript.

S., and the broader context of German engraving during the fifteenth century.

On the right page, there is another article titled "Students in Fine Arts Increase at Radcliffe," dated January 12, 1928.

The book appears to be old, with yellowed pages and some wear, suggesting it has been well-used and preserved over time. The pages are bound with a dark, possibly leather, cover.

This is an aged, yellowed newspaper clipping, likely from the early to mid-20th century, showing signs of wear such as torn edges and creases. It originates from a section discussing art history, specifically focusing on early German engravers.

The clipping contains two distinct articles:

1. Main Article (Left & Center): "Early German Engravers Not Known by Name"

   • Headline: The primary headline is bold and large, followed by a sub-headline: "Prof. Sacha Traces Work of Men Who Signed Prints With Initials."
   • Date: A handwritten annotation at the top left reads "Transcribed Jan. 12, '28," indicating the article was transcribed or noted on January 12, 1928.
   • Content: The article reports on a lecture or presentation by Professor Sacha at Harvard University, who identified the "Master E.S." as the creator of the famous "Playing Cards" and "Master of the Death of the Virgin" engravings. It details his research into this anonymous master, placing him in southwestern Germany, likely from Basel, active around the mid-15th century. The article also notes that E.S. was the first engraver to put his initials on his work and discusses his artistic style, technical skill, Gothic influences, and the cultural context of his work being a new form of art distinct from painting. It includes a smaller sub-headline "Only Small Part Saved," likely referring to the fragmentary nature of surviving historical knowledge about these early artists.

2. Adjacent Article (Right Column): "STUDENTS IN FINE ARTS INCREASE AT RADCLIFFE"

   • Headline: This article, in a separate column, reports on a significant increase in the number of female students enrolled in the fine arts program at Radcliffe College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, over a five-year period.
   • Content: It mentions that 31% of the graduate students at Radcliffe were studying fine arts in 1928, compared to 14% five years prior. It notes that six women were enrolled in the college's newly announced Fine Arts Carriage Fellows program. The article includes quotes from Miss M. V. Brown, head of the program, and mentions activities like lectures at the Museum of Fine Arts and the Boston Art Museum. It also names several students and faculty members involved, such as Mrs. H. A. Dickey, Miss Pierce, and Dorothy Adlow.
