Overall Context:
The scrapbook page appears to be part of a collection documenting the activities, acquisitions, and events of the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard, likely curated by or for the Friends of the Fogg support group. The inclusion of both works of art and institutional ephemera (news clippings, event notices) suggests it was assembled for record-keeping or commemorative purposes, offering a historical snapshot of the museum’s programming and collection in the early 20th century (inferred from the 1913 accession date and the style of printed materials).
The materials show signs of age — yellowed paper, slight tears, and tape mounting — indicating historical value and archival use.
The image shows an open page of a book or catalog, likely from a museum or art collection. On the left side of the page is an etching titled "Torre di Malghera" by Antonio Canale (Canaletto), an Italian artist who lived from 1697 to 1768. The etching appears to depict a canal scene with a tower in the background.
On the right side of the page is a portrait titled "Mrs. Thomas Boylston." This portrait is attributed to John Singleton Copley, an American artist who lived from 1737 to 1815. The portrait is labeled as being created in 1766 and is an oil painting, measuring 49 inches by 38 inches. It is noted that the portrait was bequeathed by Ward Nicholas Boylston to Harvard College on December 8, 1828.
The background of the image includes a piece of pink paper with some text, and there is a snippet of a newspaper clipping on the left side discussing a museum event featuring a Harvard speaker. The overall appearance of the page suggests it is part of a historical or educational resource related to art and cultural history.
The image appears to be a page from a scrapbook or museum catalog, with various clippings and images pasted on it. The page is open to two images:
On the left side, there is a black-and-white etching titled "Torre di Malghera" by Antonio Canale (Canaletto), an Italian artist from 1697-1768. The image depicts a tower and a canal scene, possibly Venice, with boats and buildings along the waterway. The dimensions of the etching are given as 11 7/8" x 16 3/4".
On the right side, there is a black-and-white photograph of a painting titled "Mrs. Thomas Boylston" by John Singleton Copley, an American artist from 1737-1815. The painting is an oil on canvas, measuring 49" x 38", and was bequeathed by Ward Nicholas Boylston to Harvard College on December 8, 1828. The image shows a woman seated in a chair, wearing a white bonnet and a dark dress with a white apron.
Above these images, there are clippings of text. One discusses an annual meeting of the deCordova and Dana Museum and Park, with John Coolidge, director of the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard, as the speaker. Another clipping mentions a lecture by Mr. Helmut Ruhemann of the National Gallery, London, scheduled for Tuesday, April 22, at 4 p.m. There is also a note that friends of the Fogg will receive individual notices concerning openings and lectures.
An open book is placed on a surface, and it seems to be a museum book. The book is opened to two pages, and each page has a picture and some text. The picture on the left page is of a building, and the picture on the right page is of a woman. The text on the left page is "Torre di Malghera," and the text on the right page is "Mrs. Thomas Boylston."
An open book is placed on a glass surface. The book has two pages open, one on the left and the other on the right. The left page has a black-and-white image of a building with a tree and a watermark. The right page has a black-and-white image of a woman with a watermark. The book has a brown cover. On the left side of the book, there is a piece of paper with text and a red paper with some text.
The image depicts an open book, likely a catalog or exhibition guide, showcasing two pages with distinct visual and textual content.
The book appears to be a catalog or exhibition guide, likely from the Fogg Art Museum, featuring detailed entries for artworks, including illustrations, photographs, and descriptive captions. The content highlights historical paintings and portraits, providing information about the artists, dates, mediums, and acquisition details. The formal presentation and structured layout suggest it is an official publication used for educational or archival purposes.
This image is of an open book featuring printed pages with two different images. On the left page, there's a printed black and white illustration of a landscape scene featuring a tower which is labeled "Torre di Malghera" by Antonio Canale (Canaletto), an Italian artist from the 18th century. Below the image is additional text including the artist's name, lifespan, and country of origin along with the medium of the original work (etching) and its size. The print is part of the "Farabola, Friends of the Fogg" collection.
On the right page, there is a printed black and white reproduction of an oil painting titled "Mrs. Thomas Boylston", originally created by John Singleton Copley, an American artist from the 18th century. Additional details are provided under the image, including the medium, approximate year of creation, the bequeathing party, and the benefactor's institution, in this case, Harvard College. The top part of the right page contains some text which seems to concern various lectures or meetings, and there is a folded pink-colored paper inserted between the pages that appears to be a titled leaflet or pamphlet related to an event or exhibition. The leaflet mentions the "Friends of the Fogg" who will “receive individual notices concerning openings and lectures.” The overall setting suggests that the book might be a collection of artworks or a catalog from an exhibition or museum collection. There is visible wear on the book, indicating that it may be old or extensively used.
