This image displays an open, aged scrapbook or clipping album, showing a single page with newspaper clippings mounted on discolored, yellowed paper.

The page contains two distinct newspaper articles:

1. Main Article (Left and Center):

   • Headline: "Art and Artists" followed by the larger headline "Fogg Museum Gets Rare Prints".
   • Byline: "By WALTER MERKEL".
   • Content: The article details the acquisition of fifty rare 16th- and 17th-century prints by the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University. The collection, titled “A Century of City Views,” was organized by the Royal Library in Stockholm, Sweden. The prints, mostly copper engravings, etchings, and wood-block prints, depict panoramic views of European cities like Rome, Paris, Lisbon, Toledo, London, Constantinople, and Jerusalem. The collection is named after its former owner, Count Magnus Gabriel de la Gardie, Chancellor of Sweden from 1660 to 1676. The prints were discovered in a remote corner of the Royal Library in Stockholm and are believed to have been part of spoils taken by de la Gardie during the Thirty Years’ War, when he served as a young army officer.
   • Publication Details: The source is identified as the "Sunday Telegram" from "WORCESTER, Mass.", with the date "FEB 2 1958" clearly stamped or handwritten. A clipping stamp from the "New England Newspaper Agency, Inc." is also visible. The article is mounted on a separate piece of paper, which is then glued onto the album page.

2. Smaller Article (Top Right):

   • Source: Also from the "New England Newspaper Agency, Inc."
   • Subject: A note about the "Earle (m) LAWRENCE, Mass., Independent" newspaper, dated "Circ. 5,192".
   • Date: The article or clipping is dated "FEB 8 - 1959", written by hand.

It also mentions the monthly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce at the Lamp Post Inn and a visit by Professor John Coolidge of the Fogg Art Museum of Cambridge to bring graduate students from the Harvard School of Architecture to study the Whipple House in Lawrence, Mass. The house, noted as one of the finest 17th-century buildings in America, will be shown to the students by Mr. and Mrs. James Newton.
