Based on the provided image, here is a description:

This is a typed document on off-white paper, appearing to be a press clipping or a compiled research note. The paper shows some signs of age, including slight discoloration and a small tear or fold at the top left corner. At the very top, partially cut off, the word "RUBENS, continued" is visible, indicating this is part of a larger file or index about the artist Peter Paul Rubens.

The document is organized into three columns and lists mentions of Rubens in various American publications from March and April 1956. The columns typically contain the date, the publication name, and a description of the article or reproduction featured.

Here is the detailed listing from the document:

  • Sunday, March 25, 1956 | THE NEW YORK TIMES

    • Page X 11: Article titled "Intimate Rubens," which features sketches for big projects, including drawings at the Morgan Library by Stuart Preston. The document notes there is "No mention of the Fogg." It also mentions a reproduction of Buffalo's "St. Gregory Nazianzus".
  • Sunday, March 25, 1956 | THE NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE

    • A book review section on the next to last page, reviewing "Rubens and Lautrec" by Emily Genauer. The document notes "No mention of Fogg." It mentions a reproduction of the Johnson Collection's "Emblem of Christ Appearing to Constantine".
  • April 9, 1956 | TIME

    • Pages 64, 65 & 69: Article titled "Painter Diplomat." This includes colored reproductions of "Elijah" and "St. Gregory Nazianzus Subduing Heresy," and a duo-tone of "Daniel".
  • April, 1956 | ART NEWS

    • Page 79: Article titled "Rubens Drawings and Oil Sketches." This includes a reproduction of Lehman's "Seneca," signed "A.F.".
  • April, 1956 | ARTS

    • Pages 20-23: Article titled "The Letters of a Great Painter," by Bernice Davidson. This article mentions a show including Agnes, Helen, AVD. It reproduces "Quos Ego" (detail), "Daniel", "Hercules Slaying Envy", and "Seneca".
  • April 23, 1956 | TIME

    • Pages 10-12: Section titled "Letters to the editors," which includes letters from AVD, Fred Adams, and Thomas J. Wilson. The specific content of the letters is not detailed.

The document serves as a chronology of media coverage and art reproductions related to Rubens in mid-1950s American publications. The consistent notes about the "Fogg" (likely the Fogg Museum at Harvard) suggest the compiler was tracking its involvement or lack thereof in these features.
