This image displays an open page of a vintage scrapbook, meticulously preserving newspaper clippings and press releases from May 1945, all related to the Fogg Museum of Art at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The page is arranged with six primary news clippings, dated between May 10 and May 21, 1945, all stamped and distributed by the “BOSTON NEWS-CLIP BUREAU” for various Boston newspapers, including the Chronicle-Sun, Christian Science Monitor, Morning Globe, and others.
The main theme of the clippings is the public exhibition titled “Public Exhibit Of Fogg Museum Activities Opens,” which opened on Saturday, May 10, 1945, and was scheduled to continue through June 16. As described in the clippings, the exhibit showcased the museum’s activities and growth from 1909 to 1944 under the direction of Edward Waldo Forbes and Paul J. Sachs. It featured four sections illustrating:
The largest item on the page is a reproduction of a woodcut print titled “THE RIALTO” — an etching by the American artist Childe Hassam (not Michael Whistler, as partially misread in one clipping). The print depicts the bustling scene of the Rialto Bridge in Venice, with gondolas and crowds. This is noted as being provided “By Courtesy of the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, in The Christian Science Monitor.”
The clippings are mounted on aged, yellowed paper, and the original newspaper text is printed on brittle, sepia-toned newsprint. Blue ink handwriting is visible on one clipping (“MAY 10 1945”), and several clippings have handwritten notations or underlines. The layout, stamps, and content suggest this scrapbook was likely maintained by the Fogg Museum’s press office or public relations department to document its public outreach and institutional history.
The overall impression is one of historical archival preservation — capturing a moment in mid-20th century museum history, highlighting educational outreach, art conservation, and the public’s engagement with fine arts during a pivotal time (World War II’s final months).
