This image displays a page from a vintage scrapbook, showcasing a preserved clipping from the Harvard Business School Bulletin, dated December, 1958.
The clipping is mounted on a piece of aged, cream-colored paper, which itself is glued into the scrapbook's tan, slightly worn page. At the very top of the clipping, handwritten in cursive ink, is the title: “Harvard Business School Bulletin, December, 1958”.
The clipping features two main elements:
A Black-and-White Photograph: On the left side, there is a vertical rectangular photo depicting a snow-covered scene. It shows trees laden with snow and, prominently in the background, the steeple of a church or chapel rising into a gray sky — likely the University Chapel mentioned in the text.
A Decorative Text Box: To the right of the photo is a text box framed by an ornate, repeating black-and-white floral or geometric border. The heading inside, in large, bold, sans-serif capital letters, reads “CHRISTMAS”.
Below the heading, a short article explains the editors’ intention for this seasonal issue:
“All year long the BULLETIN is occupied—and rightly so—with problems and issues which concern the businessman as a businessman: business responsibility, business education, business careers, business history, and so on. But at this special season the Editors felt the need to express something of the universal of which all these are part. So we asked our favorite photographer, Ingeborg, to take some pictures at the University Chapel, the Fogg Art Museum, and the Busch-Reisinger Museum which said ‘Christmastime’ to her. We hope they will to you, too.”
The overall presentation suggests a personal archive or memento. The aged paper, the careful mounting, and the handwritten label convey a sense of nostalgia and curation. The content itself presents an unusual blend: a business school publication pausing its professional discourse to reflect on the universal, human spirit of Christmas through photography.
