The image shows an old document with a heading that reads "ART AND THE EXPERT - A NEW INSTITUTE IN LONDON BY LORD LEE OF FAREHAM THE TIMES, October 27, 1930." Below the heading, there are two newspaper clippings from the New York Times, dated November 2, 1930, and the New York Sun, dated November 12, 1930.
The left clipping from the New York Times is titled "PRAISE BY IMITATION" and discusses the influence of American universities and museums on England. It mentions Mr. Courtauld's visit to America and his interactions with Professor Paul J. Sachs of the Fogg Museum. The text highlights the Fogg Museum's role in training art museum curators and its focus on the history of art rather than just collecting art.
The right clipping from the New York Sun is titled "Art Across the Sea" and describes Lord Lee of Fareham's proposal to establish a school in England to train art museum curators. It mentions that the Fogg Museum at Cambridge is the only institution of its kind in the United States and that Lord Lee's plan is to follow the best model wherever it is found. The text also references Miss Helen C. Frick's Frick Art Reference Library and its connection to Sir Robert Witt in London.
The document appears to be a scrapbook or collection of articles related to the establishment of a new institute for art education in London.
This image shows a scrapbook page, likely created around 1930, documenting press coverage of an important cultural initiative.
The page is composed of a large, off-white sheet of paper, punched with three holes on the left margin, suggesting it was part of a binder or scrapbook. Mounted on this sheet is a single, aged, brown paper envelope at the top, with an article clipping inside.
The envelope contains a typed article with the title:
"ART AND THE EXPERT - A NEW INSTITUTE IN LONDON"
By LORD LEE OF FAREHAM
Published in THE TIMES, October 27, 1930
This article serves as the centerpiece, detailing Lord Lee's proposal for a new art institute in London, modeled after the Fogg Museum at Harvard University. It outlines his vision for training art curators and fostering a closer relationship between academia and museums.
Beneath the envelope, two newspaper clippings are mounted side-by-side, each annotated by hand with the newspaper's name and date in ink:
Left Clipping (New York Times, Nov. 2, 1930)
Right Clipping (New York Sun, Nov. 12, 1930)
The entire document has a slightly yellowed, aged appearance, characteristic of paper from the early 20th century. The handwritten annotations add a personal, archival quality, suggesting this page was carefully assembled to preserve a record of the founding of what would become the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. The arrangement indicates a deliberate effort to collect and contextualize international press reactions to a significant British cultural project.
In summary, the image is a historical scrapbook page documenting the 1930 announcement and subsequent press coverage of Lord Lee of Fareham's plan to create a new art institute in London, which would eventually become the Courtauld Institute of Art, modeled on Harvard's Fogg Museum. The collected articles highlight the transatlantic exchange of educational ideas and the key American influence on this British initiative.
