This image shows a single page from a scrapbook, likely created around April 1961. The page is filled with newspaper clippings that all relate to a single event: a talk given by Dr. George M. A. Hanfmann, an archaeologist and curator of classical art at the Fogg Art Museum (Harvard University), in Peterborough, New Hampshire.
The clippings come from various newspapers, including the Morning Union Leader (Manchester, N.H.), Sentinel (Keene, N.H.), Transcript (Peterborough, N.H.), Daily Journal (Elizabeth, N.J.), and Evening Star (Washington, D.C.). The dates on the clippings cluster around April 13–21, 1961, indicating coverage of an upcoming or recently held event.
The central theme of the articles is Dr. Hanfmann’s visit to speak to the Historical Society of Cheshire County and the Peterborough Historical Society. He was scheduled to discuss his archaeological explorations at Sardis, the capital of the ancient kingdom of Lydia, which is located in modern-day Turkey. The talks were often held in conjunction with the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard, and many articles mention that the rooms in the Peterborough Historical Building would be opened for viewing, followed by a social hour.
One clipping includes a black-and-white photograph of Dr. Hanfmann, captioned “DR. G. M. A. HANFMANN.” The articles describe him as a professor of fine arts at Harvard and highlight his expertise in classical archaeology.
Additionally, there is a notice from the “American Press Clipping Service Inc.” dated April 7–21, 1961, suggesting this scrapbook page may have been professionally compiled to track media coverage of Dr. Hanfmann’s public appearances.
Handwritten annotations in red ink (e.g., circled dates, notes like “Fogg,” “99 Fogg 2,” and underlining) indicate that someone (perhaps Dr. Hanfmann himself or his assistant) reviewed and categorized these clippings, possibly for archival or professional purposes. The handwriting suggests a personal or institutional effort to document press coverage.
Overall, the page serves as a historical record of Dr. Hanfmann’s public engagement activity in 1961, reflecting his professional reach and the public interest in ancient archaeology at the time.
