The image shows a sheet of paper with three separate sections, each containing information about exhibitions at the Fogg Art Museum. The paper appears to be old, possibly from the early 20th century, and has some holes on the left side, suggesting it might have been stored in a binder.

  1. The first section at the top reads:

    • "FOGG ART MUSEUM"
    • "Exhibition of Rembrandt Etchings."
    • "Special Loan Exhibition of the works of William Blake."
    • Handwritten below this section is "Gazette November 22, 1930."
  2. The second section in the middle reads:

    • "FOGG ART MUSEUM"
    • "Paintings of the Naumburg Bequest."
    • "Exhibition of 19th century watercolors."
    • "Exhibition of Rembrandt Etchings."
    • "Special Loan Exhibition of the works of William Blake."
    • Handwritten below this section is "Gazette November 29, 1930."
  3. The third section at the bottom reads:

    • "FOGG ART MUSEUM"
    • "Paintings of the Naumburg Bequest."
    • "Exhibition of 19th century watercolors."
    • "Exhibition of Rembrandt Etchings."
    • Handwritten below this section is "Gaz. DEC-13."

The paper has a slightly worn look, with some discoloration and creases, indicating its age and handling over time. The background is a neutral gray color.

This image shows a single sheet of aged, off-white paper with three horizontally oriented, light beige rectangular labels affixed to its left side. The paper has three evenly spaced punch holes along its left edge, suggesting it was once filed in a binder or folder. The top and bottom edges of the sheet are slightly uneven, indicating it may have been torn from a larger document.

Each label is printed with the heading “FOGG ART MUSEUM” in a bold, capitalized, sans-serif font, followed by a list of exhibitions in a smaller, non-bold font. Below each label, handwritten text in black ink provides additional information.


Top Label:

  • Print text:
    FOGG ART MUSEUM
    Exhibition of Rembrandt Etchings.
    Special Loan Exhibition of the works of William Blake.
  • Handwritten text below:
    Gazette November 23, 1930

Middle Label:

  • Print text:
    FOGG ART MUSEUM
    Paintings of the Naumburg Bequest.
    Exhibition of 19th century watercolors.
    Exhibition of Rembrandt Etchings.
    Special Loan Exhibition of the works of William Blake.
  • Handwritten text below:
    Gazette November 29, 1930

Bottom Label:

  • Print text:
    FOGG ART MUSEUM
    Paintings of the Naumburg Bequest.
    Exhibition of 19th century watercolors.
    Exhibition of Rembrandt Etchings.
  • Handwritten text below:
    9-3 - Dec - 13

The handwriting suggests these labels were clipped from newspaper clippings (likely from the Gazette, as noted) and mounted for archival purposes. The dates indicate these were likely used to document press coverage or public announcements for exhibitions at the Fogg Art Museum (now part of the Harvard Art Museums) around late 1930. The “9-3 - Dec - 13” annotation on the bottom label is likely a filing or inventory code.

Overall, the image documents a piece of institutional archival material used to track publicity for exhibitions held at the Fogg Art Museum in 1930.

The image shows a piece of paper or page that appears to be from an archival or documentation context. The paper has a slightly irregular edge at the bottom and has three evenly spaced holes on the left side, suggesting it was once bound or placed in a binder or file.

The content of the paper includes typed text on what looks like three cut-out pieces of a lighter paper that have been pasted onto the page. The text mentions the "FOGG ART MUSEUM" at the top of each cut-out and lists exhibitions related to 'Rembrandt Etchings,' a 'Special Loan Exhibition of the works of William Blake,' 'Paintings of the Naumburg Bequest,' and 'Exhibition of 19th century watercolors.'

Below the pasted cut-outs, there is a typed date "November 29, '30" on two of the cut-outs, indicating a possible date of the exhibitions or the document's creation. At the very bottom left corner of the paper, there is a set of numbers "G25- BC-13," likely a reference, catalog, or archive number.
