This image displays an open, aged scrapbook page, densely filled with newspaper clippings from late October 1929. The clippings are from various Boston-area newspapers, including the Gazette, Crimson, Herald, and Transcript, and are all related to events at Harvard University's Fogg Art Museum.

A central feature is a black-and-white reproduction of a "CRAYON DRAWING by Edgar Degas, a 19th century French painter." The drawing depicts a seated man with his arms crossed, and the caption notes that "This picture is one of several works of art acquired by the Fogg Museum during the summer."
