This image displays a vintage, typed program or announcement sheet from the Fogg Art Museum, located at Harvard University, Cambridge 38, Mass.

The document is dated November 23, 1961, and is laid open in what appears to be a tan-colored, aged folder or scrapbook. The paper itself is off-white or cream, consistent with mid-20th-century stationary.

The sheet is formatted with clear, typewritten headings and lists, detailing:

The document offers a snapshot of the museum’s programming during that season, highlighting Renaissance and Asian art, as well as graphic arts and public engagement through lectures and guided tours.

The slight curl and wear on the paper and folder edges suggest this is an original, preserved artifact from that time period.
