Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays an open, black, leather-bound scrapbook, revealing a densely arranged page filled with newspaper clippings, photographs, and a small printed advertisement.

The scrapbook page is a historical collage, primarily centered around the Fogg Museum at Harvard University, as indicated by multiple articles and a central photograph. The clippings appear to be from the years 1930 and 1960.

Here is a detailed breakdown of the key items on the page:

• Central Photograph and Caption: The most prominent visual is a black-and-white photograph of a male nude torso sculpture, likely a classical statue of an angel or mythological figure. The caption below identifies it as: "SHOWN AT CAMBRIDGE—Chasing Angel, marble, c. 1509, by Arnolfo di Cambio, presented to the Fogg Museum by Mrs. A. Kingsley Porter in memory of her husband; right, Portrait of Admiral Duperre as a Midshipman, pencil, 1845, by Théodore Chassériau, shown with the French drawings loaned to the Fogg Museum by John S. Newberry."

• Main Article: "A COLLEGE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS": To the right of the central photo, a large article by Stuart Preston (Cambridge, Mass.) discusses the Fogg Museum's strengths and weaknesses. It mentions its lack of landscape paintings and its strong collection of early American silver and European drawings. It highlights the recent acquisition of the "Chasing Angel" and the loan of French drawings by John S. Newberry, specifically mentioning Théodore Chassériau.

• Newspaper Clippings (Left & Top):

  • A clipping from August 7, 1930, from the Springfield, Mass. "Sunday Republican" (Circ. 112,664) reports on the unearthing of 2,600-year-old "Paris" in Turkey.
  • A clipping from August 9, 1960, from the Portland, Me. "Express" (Circ. 28,487) features a small notice about "TWO ON THE AISLE" by Harold L. Carl.
  • A clipping from the New York Times, July 31, 1960 (Circ. 521,337), placed at the top, appears to be the masthead or a dateline for another article.

• Other Text Elements:

  • Below the August 7, 1930, clipping is a section titled "Selected Shorts," which contains various small, unrelated news items from 1960, including one about the movie "One-Eyed Jacks."
  • The article on the Fogg Museum continues with sub-headings like "Filling the Gaps" and "Renaissance Forerunner."

The overall impression is that the scrapbook owner was an interested observer, possibly connected to Harvard or the art world, who saved articles that documented significant acquisitions and events related to the Fogg Museum's collection, particularly the 1960 addition of the Arnolfo di Cambio statue and the Newberry loan. The inclusion of other unrelated clippings from 1930 and 1960 suggests a practice of collecting articles of general interest over time.
