This image shows a single page from a vintage press clipping service scrapbook, dated primarily in March and April of 1941. The page is composed of numerous newspaper clippings, all neatly pasted onto aged, yellowed paper that has visible signs of wear, including torn edges and punch holes along the right margin, suggesting it was stored in a binder.
Each clipping is headed with a label from the “Press Clipping Service,” located at “2 Park Square, Boston, Mass.” The clippings are sourced from various Boston-area newspapers, including the “Herald,” “GATEWAY” (likely the Boston University newspaper), “Christian Science Monitor,” “Transcript,” and “Post,” and are dated between March 28 and April 9, 1941.
The central theme across nearly all clippings is the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University in Cambridge. The articles describe a series of special exhibitions, including:
The articles also note key details such as the museum’s location (corner of Quincy Street and Broadway, Cambridge), opening hours (open 9–5 daily, except Sundays and holidays), and free admission on certain days.
In addition to the Fogg Museum coverage, there are two other distinct articles:
“Harvard in Washington” (from the Herald, April 7, 1941): This article reports on Harvard’s acquisition of a 150-year-old estate in Georgetown, Dumbarton Oaks, from Mr. and Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss. The article explains that the estate, which includes the Bliss art collection and Byzantine/medieval art, will serve as a center for art research and a public park.
“Art Lovers Get Chance at Opening of Cambridge Home” (from the Post, April 6, 1941): This piece announces a benefit event at the home of Professor and Mrs. Paul J. Sachs of Cambridge, called “Shady Hill.” The home, once owned by Charles Eliot Norton, will host an opening to benefit the Greek War Relief Association on April 15, featuring a concert by pianist Margaret Fisher and the presence of prominent Boston society figures like Mrs. Herbert S. Curtis and David McCord.
The overall impression is that of a meticulously curated archive page documenting significant art and cultural events in the Boston/Cambridge area in the spring of 1941, with a strong focus on Harvard University’s Fogg Art Museum and its activities.
