This image displays an open scrapbook page, likely from the mid-20th century, featuring a collection of newspaper clippings related to art exhibitions and lectures at the Rhode Island School of Design Museum (RISD Museum) and Wheaton College in the early 1960s.
The clippings are from various New England newspapers, including The Cranston Mirror, Times (c) from Pawtucket, Beacon from Warwick, Enterprise & Times (e) from Brockton, and Evening Union Leader from Manchester. Each article is marked with handwritten dates and notes, primarily from October and December 1962.
Key events documented on this page include:
The RISD Exhibit “Art for Your Collection”: An exhibition opening to the public on October 20, 1962, following an introductory lecture by John Coolidge, professor of fine arts and director of the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University. The exhibit focused on affordable artworks for collectors, including prints, drawings, and decorative arts, and ran through November 10, 1962. It featured objects from the 18th and 19th centuries, sourced from the collections of Boston and New York dealers and galleries.
The Shippee Lecture at Wheaton College: Held on October 25, 1962, with the theme “Berneson and Taitt: Past, Present and Future.” The lecturer was Agnes Morgan, curator of drawings and assistant director of the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University. The lecture was presented in memory of Harold R. Shippee of Pawtucket, R.I., a collector of Italian Renaissance art, and his wife Elizabeth, who died in 1957. The Shippee Memorial Lecture series was established in their honor.
A Talk on Graphic Arts: Scheduled for December 4, 1962, at the Fogg Art Museum, featuring specialist Miss M. Magnum, curator of prints, discussing the “field of prints from all periods,” with particular emphasis on American prints and Rembrandt.
The page is yellowed with age and shows signs of frequent handling, including handwritten marginalia, dates, red underlines, and a red circle highlighting the Shippee family name. The scrapbook’s binding is visible along the left edge, and the pages are set against a black background, emphasizing the archival nature of the material. The collection suggests the owner was closely following regional cultural events, particularly those related to art history, museum exhibitions, and academic lectures in New England in the early 1960s.
