Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays an open scrapbook page, bound in a red-brown cover, showing a collection of newspaper clippings and handwritten notes from January 1958. The page is aged, with a yellowed, slightly stained paper background, suggesting historical archival material.

At the top right, a small clipping dated “Mon., Jan. 20, 1958” announces an “Art Lecture at Fogg” at the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University. It notes that the museum extended its loan exhibition "Treasures From the Pierpont Morgan Library" and that Dr. David H. Wright would give an illustrated lecture on illuminated manuscripts.

Below that, in the upper-middle portion of the page, someone has handwritten in black ink: “PANORAMA, 2 weeks ending January 19, 1958.”

The main content of the page consists of two larger, adjacent newspaper clippings from a publication called “PANORAMA.”

• The clipping on the left includes a small, reproduced sketch of a stylized male face (likely a drawing from a notebook), captioned: “‘Page from a Tahitian Notebook’ by Paul Gauguin. From the Curtis O. Baer Collection.” The article text announces that on Saturday, January 11, 1958, the Fogg Art Museum will display sixty master drawings from the private collection of Curtis O. Baer — the first public showing of works from this collection. It notes the drawings span from around 1460 to modern times and are by fifty-four different artists.

• The clipping on the right, titled “ART (Continued),” provides background on collector Curtis O. Baer, describing him as a New Yorker with ten years of collecting experience. It highlights his open-minded taste, spanning old masters to modern art, and notes his sound art-historical training. The article mentions his past loan contributions to Fogg exhibitions (including a Roman marble head and Reubens sketches) and lists several artists whose works are included in the current 1958 show: Titian, Brougel the Elder, Rembrandt, Ruysdael, Antoine Watteau, and others.

The overall impression is of a carefully curated scrapbook page documenting art events and exhibitions at the Fogg Art Museum in early 1958, specifically centered around the significant debut of the Curtis O. Baer Collection. The handwriting and cut-and-pasted clippings suggest a personal archival effort, possibly by an art enthusiast or scholar.
