This image displays a vintage news clipping mounted on a larger piece of paper, likely for archival or reference purposes.
The primary element is a yellowed newspaper clipping, which has been cut out and glued onto a clean, off-white sheet. The clipping announces an art exhibition and features the headline:
EXHIBIT OF JAP ART
Below this, the text reads:
An exhibition of rare full-scale photographs of ancient mural paintings from the golden hall of Horyuji monastery, Japan, are on exhibition beginning this morning in the Fogg Museum of Art at Harvard University.
The clipping shows signs of age, with some red ink markings—possibly annotations or a stamp—with the numbers “1286” visible over part of the text.
This clipping is mounted on a larger card or envelope from “BOSTON NEWS CLIP,” located at “120 Tremont Street, Boston 8, Mass.” Above the headline of the clipping, the sender’s address is printed, followed by:
Post
Boston, Mass.
Below that, a typed or stamped date reads:
JAN 31 1949
The overall impression is of a preserved historical record — a news item from 1949, saved by a clipping service based in Boston, documenting a culturally significant exhibition of Japanese art at Harvard University.
Note: The headline uses “JAP ART” as a shorthand for “Japanese Art,” a common abbreviation of the era, though it is now considered outdated or potentially offensive. The article itself refers correctly to “Japan” and “Horyuji monastery.”
