This image shows an open, aged scrapbook with yellowed pages, displaying two newspaper clippings from 1958 and 1959.
The left clipping is from the Sunday Times (New York, N.Y.), dated March 16, 1958. Its headline reads: “CROESUS’ CITY SOUGHT”. It announces a U.S. expedition to uncover the ancient city of Sardis, Turkey — once ruled by Croesus — led by Cornell University, the Fogg Art Museum of Harvard University, and the Bollingen Foundation. The article identifies A. Henry Detweiler as field adviser and architect, and George M. A. Hanfmann as director.
The right clipping is from the Sunday Register (New Haven, Conn.), dated April 13, 1959. The headline reads: “Brodeur Portraits, Still Lifes On Display At Public Library”. It describes an exhibition of paintings by Clarence Brodeur at the New Haven Free Public Library’s Art Room. The article praises Brodeur’s figurative portraits and still lifes as “vital,” “true,” and “sensitive,” and details his academic background — including studies at the Vassarville School of Fine Arts, Yale, and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris — as well as his memberships in professional art associations and exhibitions at venues like the Fogg Art Museum and the Albert Schweitzer Fellowship.
The scrapbook’s cover or spine is visible on the left, bound in dark green with the title “CLARENCE BRODEUR” in gold lettering. The pages are held open by clear plastic corner mounts, likely for archival preservation. Both clippings are neatly pasted and preserved as historical records of Brodeur’s professional activities as an artist and scholar around that time.
This page documents two distinct facets of cultural and academic life in the late 1950s: classical archaeology and regional art exhibitions.
