This image displays a vintage, yellowed newspaper clipping from the French publication “Le Foyer du Dimanche,” dated October 4, 1929 (Issue 36). The main headline, printed in large red type, reads:

Le Fogg Art Museum de l’Université Harvard

(The Fogg Art Museum of Harvard University)

The article, written by Rosalie Dion-Levesque, is a feature on the Fogg Art Museum, describing it as one of the finest art museums in the world and highlighting its unique character as a museum, library, and laboratory combined. It details the museum’s history, its founding by William Hayes Fogg and his wife Elizabeth Fogg, and its evolution under Harvard’s leadership.

The page is richly illustrated with several black-and-white photographs:

1. Portrait of Monsieur Ramel — A portrait of a man in a suit, identified as being drawn by Jean-Baptiste Dominique Ingres.
2. Entrée principale du musée Fogg — A photograph of the grand, columned entrance facade of the Fogg Art Museum.
3. La cour intérieure du musée — A view of the museum’s interior courtyard, showcasing its architectural details and sculptures.
4. Marbre représentant l’amour — A close-up of a marble sculpture depicting “Cupid Carrying a Torches” (labeled “ADÉL, Gendarme, statue, d’un huitième du C. V.” — likely referring to Adèle, the sculptor or subject, and “C.V.” as an abbreviation, perhaps meaning “Cinquième Vingtième,” though context is unclear).
5. Universitaires à l’étude dans la bibliothèque — An image of students or professors seated at tables in the museum’s library, studying.
6. Saint François recevant les stigmates, peinture par GIOTTO — A reproduction of Giotto's painting “Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata,” captioned as being from the museum’s collection.

The layout is traditional for its era, with multiple columns of dense French text interspersed with photographs. A smaller headline, “LA CRUCIFIXION — par Fra Angelico (1387-1455),” appears near the bottom, likely referring to another work discussed in the article (though the photograph may be Giotto’s, not Fra Angelico’s).

At the very top right, there is a handwritten note — likely a reader’s annotation — reading “(Mentres.)” — though its meaning is unclear and possibly a misreading of another word.
