This image displays an open, aged document, likely a page from a museum’s annual report, newsletter, or exhibition booklet.

The page is positioned on top of a larger, worn, brown paper-covered book or folder, suggesting it is part of an archive or collection.

The document is headed in bold, blue, capitalized serif font with:

FOGG ART MUSEUM
HARVARD UNIVERSITY, CAMBRIDGE 38, MASS.

Below this, centered and dated, is:

May 29, 1962

Underneath, the section is titled “EXHIBITIONS” in all caps with an underline.

The page lists four current or upcoming exhibitions with their dates:

  1. Paintings by Members of the Harvard 1911 Art Club — June 7 – June 28.
  2. The Collection of Dr. Arnold H. Knapp, Class of 1889 — Old Master Prints and Chinese Bronzes — Given and Lent to the Fogg Art Museum. June 12 – September 30.
  3. French Society of the Mid 19th Century (Print Room) — through June 21.
  4. Design in Silver — through June 5 (Exhibition arranged by a student).

The text is typed in a standard monospaced typewriter font (likely courier), typical of documents from the early 1960s. The paper is off-white or cream-colored, and the overall presentation is simple, functional, and institutional.

The physical condition of the surrounding material — the yellowed, creased, and slightly torn brown paper — conveys a sense of historical use and preservation. The image captures a quiet moment in institutional history, documenting the cultural offerings of the Fogg Art Museum in the summer of 1962.

This is an image of an open printed document or book. The page displayed reads 'FOGG ART MUSEUM HARVARD UNIVERSITY, CAMBRIDGE 38, MASS. May 29, 1952'. Below this title, there is a heading 'EXHIBITIONS', followed by a list of various art exhibitions and their dates.

The paper is off-white with some discoloration or shadowing at the lower edges, likely due to age or the shadow of the curled paper. The surrounding material looks brown, possibly the cover or a supporting surface for the document.
