This image displays a historical document – a faded, yellowed newspaper clipping mounted on a larger, similarly aged sheet of paper, which appears to be part of an archive or scrapbook. The document is preserved under a protective, transparent cover, and the larger sheet has three punched holes along its right edge, suggesting it was stored in a binder.
The clipping is titled “BOSTON NEWS CLIP” and is dated January 2, 1949, with the address “180 Tremont Street, Boston 8, Mass.” printed at the top of two identical columns.

The article explains that seventy drawings by masters from the 14th through the 19th centuries were selected from various collections, including those of Paul J. Sachs himself, and were on display at the Fogg Museum of Art. The exhibition was open to the public and was held in honor of Sachs’s 70th birthday.
A smaller, partially obscured note beneath the main headline reads “1257”, possibly a catalog or reference number.
