This image displays an open scrapbook or clipping album, showing a single page from The Christian Science Monitor, dated Friday, April 2, 1943, identified as Page Eight, with “BOSTON” printed below the masthead.
The central and most prominent feature is a large, black-and-white reproduction of a drawing titled “Augusta”, attributed to the French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901). The artwork is a portrait of a woman in profile, looking towards the left. She has dark, upswept hair, a high collar, and a somber, contemplative expression. The style is sketchy and expressive, with strong vertical lines in the background. The signature "Henri" is visible in the lower right corner of the drawing. A caption beneath the image reads: “‘Augusta’: A Drawing by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec”, and credits the image to “Courtesy of the Fogg Museum of Art, Harvard University, to The Christian Science Monitor”.
Below the artwork is a multi-column article providing biographical details about Toulouse-Lautrec, discussing his life, artistic style, subjects (particularly performers and café society), and his connection to the “night life of Paris.”
The right-hand side of the page is densely populated with numerous press clippings — small, rectangular newspaper cuttings glued onto the scrapbook page. These clippings are from various Boston-area publications, including:
Each clipping is dated around April 2-5, 1943, and they all report on the same event: a special exhibition at the Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge (Harvard University). The exhibition features “Chinese porcelains,” “North Africa Interpreted by European Artists,” and specifically mentions Toulouse-Lautrec’s work being included. One clipping explicitly notes that “a painting by William Martin ‘Duet at Tripoli’ has been included in the exhibition,” and another notes that “The Fogg Museum of Harvard University is showing an exhibition of paintings...” from the 19th-century French artist.
The scrapbook page itself is visibly aged, with yellowed paper and some wear along the edges and spine. The arrangement of the main article and the clippings suggests someone was compiling press coverage of the Fogg Museum’s exhibition, highlighting both the Toulouse-Lautrec piece and the broader context of the show. A small, modern-style white label from “Fogg Museum of Art, Harvard University, Cambridge” is also affixed to the page, likely a later archival note.
