Archives Scrapbooks

This image shows an open, aged scrapbook or photo album with yellowed pages. Affixed to the right-hand page is a collage of black-and-white photographs and handwritten notes, creating a personal or documentary record, likely from an art or architectural study trip.

The central and largest photograph on the left shows a full-length sculpture of a draped female figure (the Madonna) holding a small child (the Christ Child). The statue is carved from stone and is positioned in a large, dimly lit interior space, perhaps a cathedral or museum gallery, with strong backlighting creating a dramatic silhouette.

To the right of this main image, a smaller sheet of paper holds an arrangement of four smaller photographs:

• A vertical shot of a chandelier or ornate light fixture.
• A photograph of a church steeple seen through trees.
• A larger image showing the same Madonna and Child statue situated outdoors in a colonnaded courtyard or loggia, with an inscription beneath it reading: "Corridor outside Gallery A.M."
• Another vertical shot of a similar chandelier.

Handwritten notes on the collage provide critical information:

• Below the main photograph: "Fogg - 1949. 84 / French 15th century, / Madonna & Child, / Limestone"
• In the bottom right corner: "Photos by Josephine Tallark"

This suggests the subject is a 15th-century French limestone sculpture held by the Fogg Museum (now part of the Harvard Art Museums), photographed in 1949 by Josephine Tallark. The collage juxtaposes views of the sculpture in different settings (indoor display and outdoor corridor) alongside contextual architectural and decorative elements, documenting the piece in a personal, research-oriented manner.

The image shows a page from a photograph album or scrapbook, featuring black-and-white photographs and handwritten notes. The main focus is a large photograph of a stone statue of the Virgin Mary holding a child, identified as a "Madonna and Child" from the 15th century in France, made of limestone. The text on the page identifies it as "Fog9- 1949.84" and "Madonna and Child, Limestone."

To the right of the main photograph, there are smaller, inset images of architectural details, likely from the same location or building where the statue is displayed. These include details of chandeliers and possibly another view of the Madonna and Child statue inside a corridor.

The surrounding page is slightly worn, indicating it might be from an older album, and the photograph has a vintage, tactile quality to it. The album page itself is off-white or light beige, adding to the overall aged appearance of the image.
