This image displays a collection of newspaper clippings, press releases, and notes assembled on a single sheet of paper, likely for archival or reference purposes. The documents all relate to the Naumburg Rooms and their gift to the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University in December 1930.

The clippings are from several sources and include:

1. “Crimson” (Harvard University newspaper, Dec. 10, 1930): This is the largest and most prominent article. Headlined “NAUMBURG ROOMS STORED AWAITING DISPOSAL BY FOGG,” it details that the Naumburg Rooms — a gift from Mrs. Aaron Naumburg of New York — have been moved from New York to Cambridge for storage. The rooms, which include 16th-century English paneled rooms and valuable contents like paintings, furniture, and a tapestry, will remain in storage until a permanent display space can be built at the Fogg Museum. The article highlights key artworks, including Rembrandt’s “Portrait of an Old Man” and Frans Hals’ “Portrait of a Preacher of Holland,” as well as a unique 16th-century tapestry of Flemish origin.

2. “Christian Science Monitor” (Dec. 10, 1930): This clipping, titled “Valuable Old Paintings Included in Naumburg Gift to Fogg Museum,” essentially reiterates the information from the Crimson article, confirming the details about the rooms and their contents, including the Rembrandt and Hals portraits, and the tapestry.

3. “X-RAY” (Metropolitan Museum Studies, December 1930, V.XXIX, Part I): A small, separate clipping mentioning an article by Alan Burroughs titled “Veronese’s Alterations in His Painting of Mars and Venus,” unrelated to the main subject.

4. “Art News” (December 27, 1930, V.XXIX, No.13, pp.8): Another small clipping, this one announcing “Dr. Goldschmidt Lectures on Early German Painter-Poets.”

5. Typed Note (Tuesday, December 16): This note announces a lecture: “‘Old Master Drawings.’ Professor Arthur M. Hind. Large Lecture Hall of the Fogg Art Museum, 5 P.M.”

6. Handwritten Notes:

   • In the bottom left corner, “Cornell Dec. 10 1930” is scrawled, possibly indicating where or when the clippings were collected or reviewed.
   • In the bottom right corner, “W. U. Sayette Dec. 13 1930” is written, likely the name of the person who assembled the sheet or a correspondent.

The entire sheet is bound on the right edge with three holes, suggesting it was placed in a binder or album. The paper has aged to a light beige color, and the clippings are of varying sizes and slightly different shades of newsprint. The overall layout is that of a research or press kit compiled around December 10–13, 1930, documenting a significant art donation to Harvard’s Fogg Museum and related cultural events.

The image appears to be a newspaper clipping or article from the Crimson, a Harvard University student newspaper. The article discusses the Naumberg Rooms, a gift of New Yorker rooms to the Fogg Museum, which are currently stored pending an exhibition.

The article provides details about the Naumberg Rooms, which include several English paneled rooms from the 16th century, as well as various tapestries, paintings, furniture, rugs, textiles, and other objects of art.

The article mentions that the rooms have been displayed in temporary locations at the museum and that a monetary provision has been made for the necessary construction and care of the collection. The rooms will remain in storage until the installation is completed, which is expected to take several years.

The article also highlights some of the notable items in the Naumberg collection, including a portrait of an old man by Rembrandt, a portrait of Duke of Oldenburg by Frans Hals, and various Flemish and Dutch paintings.
