Archives Scrapbooks

This image shows an open, vintage scrapbook with a green cloth binding, lying flat. The pages are aged, yellowed paper, and the spread contains newspaper clippings and archival labels.

Left Page:

• Dominating the page is a newspaper clipping from The Home Forum, which is identified as being "Registered in U.S. Patent Office". The date "1985" is handwritten in blue ink across the title.
• The clipping features a large, prominent pencil sketch portrait of a man, identified in the caption as Victor Duréz, drawn by Théodore Chassériau (1819-1856).
• The text below the portrait is an article, "A PENCIL PORTRAIT OF VICTOR DURÉZ: By Théodore Chassériau," written by Dorothy Aclow. It discusses the artist's life, his training under Ingres and later influence by Delacroix, and critical views on his work.
• A credit line reads: "By Courtesy of the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, in THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR".
• At the top left corner of the page, there is an archival label from the Boston News Clip service, with the address "120 Tremont Street, Boston 8, Mass." and the date SEP 14 1946.

Right Page:

• This page is mostly blank but features a similar archival label from the Boston News Clip service at the bottom right.
• This label also shows the address "120 Tremont Street, Boston 8, Mass.", the publication Christian Science Monitor, and the date SEP 3 1946.
• Below this, there is a smaller, more detailed label that reads:

The overall impression is that of a carefully curated collection of press clippings, likely assembled by a collector or researcher, documenting articles about art and artists, specifically a portrait by Chassériau, and linking them to the Fogg Museum at Harvard University and the Christian Science Monitor's coverage in 1946. The handwritten "1985" on the newspaper title suggests the clipping may have been re-published or re-referenced much later.

The image shows a page from a book, specifically a section from "The Home Forum" dated September 14, 1946, with a clip from the Boston News Clip section.

The portrait depicts Dupré in profile, holding a flower, and is accompanied by a brief biographical text about Théodore Chassériau and his work. The newspaper clipping is bound within a green book, and additional clippings are visible at the top of the page, including one from September 3, 1946, related to an exhibition at the Fogg Museum of Art, Harvard University. The overall appearance of the pages suggests they are from a historical newspaper or magazine collection.
