This image displays an open scrapbook or album page, preserving a newspaper clipping alongside two photographic reproductions of artwork.
The main feature is an article from the Boston Globe, dated October 10, 1971, under the section “PHOTO ART.” The headline reads: “Realistic imagery in Fogg”. The article, written by C.H. Wasserman, reviews an exhibition titled “Contemporary Photography II” at the Fogg Museum.
The article discusses the work of several photographers, including Richard Rogers, Timothy Carlson, Leslie Krims, and Burk Uzzle. It praises the “realistic” nature of the exhibit, contrasting it with the more surreal and conceptual work of photographer Leslie Krims. The reviewer notes that, apart from a few pieces, the exhibit leans toward straightforward imagery, with Richard Rogers’ and Timothy Carlson’s photos being particularly noted for their lack of “particular sense of the people.”
The newspaper clipping is pasted onto the right-hand page of a beige, aged scrapbook. Below the clipping, on the left-hand page, are two black-and-white reproductions of marble sculptures and drawings by the Italian artist Antonio Canova (1757–1822).
The top image is a bust of “Napoleon as First Consul”, identified as marble (height: 26 ½ inches). The bust depicts Napoleon in military attire with arms crossed. A caption notes: “Pictures by courtesy of the Fogg Museum of Art, Cambridge, Mass.”
The bottom image is a sketch or drawing titled “Lady Reclining in a Classic Chair”. It is described as “a study for the head of a ‘cancer,’ and from the garlanded hair to flow.” The caption credits it as “Drawing by Antonio Canova” and notes “WILLIAM GERMAIN DOOLEY” at the bottom — possibly the name of the collector or scrapbook compiler.
The overall presentation suggests a personal archive preserving a review of a museum exhibit — likely connected or juxtaposed thematically with the classical artworks displayed alongside the contemporary photography review. The scrapbook page captures both historical art and critical commentary on modern photography from the early 1970s.
The image shows a vintage page from a publication, likely a newspaper or magazine, with a focus on photographic art and classical sculpture.
