Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays a historical newspaper clipping, meticulously preserved and mounted on a brown, textured mat board, likely for archival or exhibition purposes.

The clipping is from The Christian Science Monitor and features a section titled “The Home Forum”, dated Friday, April 16, 1965. It is composed of several articles and notices dated from mid-April 1965, indicating they were likely clipped and compiled shortly after publication.

Dominating the center of the page is a large, black-and-white photograph of an ancient Greek-style pottery vase. The caption beneath it reads: “By courtesy of The Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass.” and further identifies the piece as: “PSYKTER: Attic red-figure, attributed to Oltos”. This type of vessel, a psykter, was used for cooling wine, and the Attic red-figure style is a classical Greek ceramic technique.

Surrounding this central image are various printed articles, including:

• “Noted Art Expert To Open Williams Lecture Series” (April 12, 1965): Discussing lectures by Dr. Jakob Rosenberg at Williams College.
• “Gardner Cox Begins Kennedy Oil Portrait” (April 16, 1965): Reporting on artist Gardner Cox starting a portrait of President John F. Kennedy for the White House.
