This image displays a newspaper clipping, dated January 5, 1958, from the Boston Sunday Globe, which has been pasted into a scrapbook. The clipping is titled “Baer Collection Gems” and announces an upcoming exhibition at Harvard’s Fogg Art Museum.

The article highlights that starting Saturday, January 11, the museum will exhibit parts of a private collection belonging to Curtis O. Baer — works that had never before been made available to the public. The collection consists of sixty master drawings by 54 different artists, spanning from approximately 1460 to the present.

The clipping features three black-and-white reproductions of drawings from the collection, each accompanied by a caption:

3. Bottom Image: Ruisdael’s “The Ruined Cottage”. This drawing portrays a crumbling, dilapidated stone cottage with a partially collapsed roof and exposed timbers, set in a desolate rural landscape — a classic example of ruin scenes in 17th-century Dutch art.
