Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays a piece of aged, yellowed paper, likely an archival clipping page, holding five newspaper clippings from December 1949. The clippings, marked as "BOSTON NEWS CLIP" and sourced from various local publications, are arranged on the single sheet.

The paper itself shows signs of age, including discoloration, creases, and some minor tears, particularly along the right edge. A red stamp or mark, possibly reading "DEF," is visible on several of the clippings.

There are two distinct types of articles represented:

1. Exhibitions at the Fogg Art Museum: Three clippings report on an exhibition of 30 outstanding drawings from the Fogg Art Museum's collection. This exhibition was held to coincide with the publication of "One Hundred Master Drawings," a book edited by Miss Agnes Mongan, the curator of drawings. The exhibit also included seven famous drawings presented to the museum by Professor Paul J. Sachs. Several of the clippings are dated December 15, 1949, and note the exhibit will continue through the end of January. One clipping provides additional detail on other exhibitions at the museum, including Venetian paintings, French paintings, Egyptian Art, and the C.D. Crass Collection, with specific opening and closing dates.

2. Engagement Announcement: One clipping, dated December 15, 1949, from the Graphic in Newton, Mass., announces the engagement of Elaine Barback to Mr. Harvey Morvin Albertson. It details the parents of the couple and mentions that the bride-to-be, Miss Diamond, is a graduate of the Boston University and the Fogg Art Museum, and that she served with the Army Air Forces for 20 months.

At the bottom center of the page, a stamp or print from "THE BOSTON SUNDAY GLOBE—DECEMBER 18, 1949" is visible, likely indicating the date the original newspaper was published or when the clipping was added to this collection.
