This image displays a vintage, assembled collection of printed materials—likely a program and related press clippings—documenting a concert given by the Stradivarius Quartet of New York in November 1931. The items are glued or affixed to a single sheet of aged, cream-colored paper.

The collection consists of three main printed sections:

  1. Top Document (Beige Paper): This is a formal program announcement for a concert held on Friday, November 13, 1931, at 8:15 p.m. It is titled "FOGG ART MUSEUM — HARVARD UNIVERSITY CONCERT BY THE STRADIVARIUS QUARTET OF NEW YORK," and notes that the concert was held "UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE DIVISION OF MUSIC AND THE FOGG ART MUSEUM" and was "OPEN TO THE PUBLIC."

  2. Bottom-Left Document (Off-White Paper): This is another, more detailed program, dated Friday, November 15, 1931, at 8 o'clock, and held in the Central Court of the Fogg Art Museum. It lists the performers under the auspices of the "Divisions of Music and of the Fine Arts":

    • Wolfe Wolfinsohn, First Violin
    • Alfred Pochon, Second Violin
    • Nicolas Moldavan, Viola
    • Gerald Warburg, Violoncello

    The Programme is listed as:

    • Quartet in D minor, Op. 76, No. 2 by Haydn (movements: Allegro, Andante o piu tosto allegretto, Menuetto, Finale (Vivace assai))
    • "Pastorale" by Ernest Bloch
    • Quartet in E minor, Op. 59, No. 2 by Beethoven (movements: Allegro, Molto adagio, Allegretto, Finale (Presto))
  3. Right-Side Clipping (Small, Brownish Paper): This appears to be a newspaper clipping or a separate announcement. It reiterates that the Stradivarius Quartet from New York will give its annual concert at Harvard, specifically on Friday at 8:15 o'clock in the "Central Court of Fogg Museum," under the same auspices. It reproduces the same program information as the bottom-left document. Below it, there is another, smaller clipping announcing the same concert on Friday evening, November 13, under the auspices of the Museum and the Division of Music.

Handwritten annotations are visible on the right side of the page, including "Grossman Nov 10 1931" and "H.A.B. 20 Nov 1931," which likely denote the collector's notes or the dates the clippings were acquired.

Overall Description:
The image presents a historical artifact—a scrapbook page or archival document—commemorating a performance by the Stradivarius Quartet at Harvard University in November 1931. The conflicting dates (Nov. 13 on the top and right clippings vs. Nov. 15 on the main program) suggest there may have been a date change, or that different documents were printed for slightly different events or announcements. The document serves as a record of the concert, the performers, the venue, and the repertoire, which included major works by Haydn, Beethoven, and Ernest Bloch, all presented in a formal setting hosted by the university's museum and music department. The paper's yellowing and the use of vintage typography reflect its age.
