This image displays a vintage newspaper clipping mounted on an aged, light-brown paper backing, likely part of a press clipping scrapbook or archive.

The clipping, sourced from The Standard-Times (New Bedford, Mass.) and dated December 17, 1967, is from the “The Art World” section. The headline reads:

Bronzes From Classical World Exhibited at Fogg Museum in Cambridge

The article, written by Leona Rubin, discusses a significant exhibition of ancient bronze sculptures at the Fogg Museum at Harvard University. Rubin describes the exhibit as “unique,” noting it was the only stop in the U.S. after Los Angeles and St. Louis. The show included 300 master bronzes from Greece, Etruscan, and Roman civilizations, many newly excavated or rarely displayed.

A central black-and-white photograph within the article shows an Etruscan bronze statue from the 5th Century B.C., identified in the caption as “Oinochoe—Elaborate wine pitcher was probably made in Greek colony in southern Italy, such as Tarrentum, around 330-320 B.C.” The image depicts a figure—possibly a woman—carrying a large vessel on her shoulder, with draped fabric and detailed hair or headdress.

The article explores thematic elements of the bronzes, including their religious, symbolic, and aesthetic roles. It mentions works such as the “Severe Style,” “Master Bronzes,” and “Familiar Bird,” and touches on techniques, materials, and the artistic relationship between Greek, Etruscan, and Roman cultures. Rubin also notes the exhibit’s scholarly component, including a two-day symposium.

The clipping bears several archival markings:

• A typed label at the top left: “STANDARD-TIMES (W) / NEW BEDFORD, MASS. / DEC 17 1967 / Fogg Museum / Bronzes”
• A stamp from “WESTERN PRESS CLIPPING EXCHANGE / MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.” near the top right.
• A small, partially legible newspaper clipping fragment at the bottom right, including the phrase “Sketch to...” and names like “Carrying by Legionaries, Ro...”

The overall presentation suggests this is an organized archival item, preserved for historical, art-historical, or research purposes. The paper’s yellowed edges and the careful mounting indicate its age and intentional curation.
