This image displays a vintage newspaper clipping, mounted or pasted onto a larger, plain off-white backing sheet.

The clipping is titled “BOSTON NEWS CLIP” at the top, with the address “120 Tremont Street, Boston 8, Mass.” printed below it — likely indicating the source or recipient of the clipping.

Below this, the article is sourced from the “Tribune, Chicago, Ill.” and is dated “MAY 23 1949”, printed in bold, large typeface.

The headline of the article, enclosed in a box, reads:
“BOSTON MUSEUM GETS HOYT COLLECTION OF RARE ASIATIC ART”

The article itself, dated “Boston, May 22 (Special)” from the Tribune, reports that the Boston Museum of Fine Arts has inherited the collection of 1,000 pieces of Asiatic art gathered over 40 years by the late Charles Bain Hoyt of Cambridge and Camden, Maine.

It notes that some pieces had already been exhibited at Harvard’s Fogg Art Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts, but most were housed at Hoyt’s residences in Cambridge and Camden, and his chalet in Switzerland.

The article quotes Kojiro Tomita, the museum's curator of Asiatic art, describing the collection as including “Chinese and Korean ceramics of the greatest rarity,” as well as Chinese sculptures, bronzes, metal objects, paintings, and prints. Tomita called it a collection reflecting “the highest standards of artistic collecting.”

There is visible red handwritten ink on the clipping:

• Over the headline box, “128 F” is written, possibly an internal filing or catalog number.
• A small red mark appears near the word “the” in the paragraph mentioning Kojiro Tomita.

The clipping itself is printed on aged, yellowish paper, and the entire mounted document is photographed against a neutral gray background. The overall impression is that of a preserved archival news clipping.
