Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays an open scrapbook page, viewed from above, containing preserved newspaper clippings from 1946. The page has a yellowed, aged appearance, and the clippings are mounted on off-white paper with some tape or adhesive evident.

The central feature is a large newspaper article from The Christian Science Monitor, identifiable by the byline “By Courtesy of the Fogg” and the prominent headline fragment “The art a Class” (part of a longer headline likely reading “The Art of a Classic” or similar).

Below the headline is a large, detailed black-and-white illustration — likely a reproduction of a classical painting or engraving. The caption identifies it as:
“‘THE FAMILY OF LUCIEN BONAPARTE’: A Drawing”
It depicts a formal group of figures, including adults and children, in what appears to be 19th-century attire, posing together in a domestic or aristocratic interior setting.

Beneath the illustration, the article text begins with:

Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres... thirty-five years old when he made this drawing... signature: J. Ingres, D. miracles 1815... artist was influenced by classical pottery... figures put together... not actually represent a group... appear painstakingly posed...

Along the top of the page are three identical pre-printed labels from:

BOSTON NEWS CLIP
120 Tremont Street
Boston 8, Mass.
Christian Science Monitor
Boston, Mass.
OCT 7 1946 — OCT 12 1946 — OCT 14 1946

Each label also includes a smaller printed note:

“Fogg Museum of Art, Harvard University, Cambridge – Exhibition of Drawings by J. Ingres — Through Nov. 10, 1946”

A blue handwritten note, “MONITOR 128 F,” appears to the left of the headline, likely an archival or organizational marking.

The overall context indicates this is documentation of a 1946 exhibition of J. Ingres’s drawings at the Fogg Museum (now Harvard Art Museums) in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The scrapbook page serves as a curated collection of press coverage, specifically preserving this Monitor feature and associated date-stamped clippings.

To the right edge of the page, a sliver of another clipping is visible with a partial headline reading “...ee R’s in the Sun,” suggesting this is part of a larger collection of articles.

The scrapbook has a green hardcover binding, visible on the left side of the image.
