Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays an open scrapbook or collection of newspaper clippings, meticulously preserved on aged, yellowed paper. The clippings are from various New Hampshire newspapers dated in December 1952, documenting a cultural event centered around the artist Herbert Waters, a wood engraver.

The collection is organized chronologically and geographically:

• Top Left: A clipping from the Union Leader (Manchester, N.H.) dated Thursday, December 4, 1952, announces that "Art Enthusiasts Attend Display of Works by Ingres" at the Fogg Art Museum. This serves as context for the era's art scene.
• Top Right & Bottom Right: Two nearly identical articles, one from the Union & Rockingham County Gazette (Hampton, N.H.) and another from the Courier (Rochester, N.H.), both dated December 4, 1952, announce a new exhibit. The headline reads: "Printmaking Is Displayed At UNH" or "Printmaking Art Exhibit Planned".
  • These articles detail an exhibition at the Hampton Smith Library at the University of New Hampshire.
  • The exhibit features the Martin Barooshian method of printmaking, noted for its unusual technique of using "only one or two blocks to print from five to ten colors."
  • The artist highlighted is Herbert Waters, a young Boston artist and wood engraver.
  • The exhibit, part of the contemporary art section of the Hamilton Smith Library, will display some of the "finest masterpieces of printmaking," including over 1700 contemporary prints and watercolors loaned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
• Bottom Left: A clipping from the Union Leader dated December 6, 1952, provides a follow-up or a related story, again titled "Art Enthusiasts Attend Display of Works by Ingres," confirming the event's popularity and drawing a connection to the larger art world.

The overall theme is the promotion and documentation of the printmaking exhibit at UNH, with a special focus on the technique and art of Herbert Waters. The scrapbook page serves as a historical record of local art coverage from 1952, showcasing how different publications reported on the same event. The handwritten, cursive label at the top left, "Chronicle & Union," likely refers to the Manchester Union Leader newspaper, which is also a source for some of the clippings. The arrangement and preservation suggest this was compiled by someone interested in the artist or the event, perhaps Herbert Waters himself or a colleague.
