This image displays a vintage press clipping on aged, cream-colored paper, likely from the mid-20th century. It is a clipping from the New York Times, dated February 15, 1948, as stamped in faded red ink across the middle of the clipping.
The clipping is issued by Burrelle’s Press Clipping Bureau, a service established in 1888, located at 165 Church Street, New York. Their logo, featuring a stylized pair of scissors intertwined with the cursive script of “Burrelle’s,” is positioned at the top. Contact information includes “BArclay 7-5371” and circulation figures for The New York Times: “Circ. D. 531,458 - S. 851,982.”
The article, sourced from Cambridge, Mass., reports on a significant exhibition at the Fogg Museum at Harvard. It highlights the museum’s reputation as a “cradle for museum men,” having nurtured many directors and curators. The article notes that, under the direction of connoisseur-collector Paul J. Sachs and the scholarship of Agnes Mongan, the field of drawings gained widespread public attention in America.
The focus of the article is the museum’s current loan exhibition of 19th- and 20th-century drawings, which were collected by John S. Newberry Jr., a Harvard graduate (1933) and then-Curator of Graphic Arts at the Detroit Institute. The collection spans from an Ingres pencil drawing of 1819 to a Beckmann watercolor of 1947, showcasing an “empiric and distinguished personal taste” developed since Newberry’s undergraduate days. The article notes the collection includes works by major artists such as Delacroix, Degas, Seurat, and Picasso, and concludes that the collection is of “extraordinary quality.”
Handwritten at the bottom right, in pencil, is the word “TOUGHNUT” — likely an internal reference or identifier used by the clipping service or recipient.
The overall appearance — faded paper, typewritten text, manual stamping, and handwritten annotation — gives the piece a historical, archival feel, reflecting mid-century press monitoring practices.
