The page appears to be from a collection of clippings related to art exhibitions at the Fogg Museum, Harvard University.

This image displays a page from a scrapbook or clipping album, dated October 15, 1971, featuring several newspaper clippings from that era, primarily focused on art exhibitions at the Fogg Museum, Harvard University.

The page is laid out with three distinct newspaper clippings pasted onto aged, beige cardstock:

1. Left Clipping (from "Cambridge Dining"):

   • Headline/Annotation: Handwritten at the top is “H. Independent Oct 14-20, 1971,” suggesting the source and date range.
   • Image: A detailed black-and-white etching by Giovanni Piranesi (1720-1778) depicting a vast, complex, and dramatic architectural interior, likely one of his famous “Prisons” series, filled with staircases, arches, and figures.
   • Caption: Explains that this is “One of fourteen etchings by Giovanni Piranesi now on display in the Fogg’s Print Room from 2-5 thru Oct. 19.” It also mentions that starting Wednesday, October 20th, they will become part of a new display on prisons.

2. Top Right Clipping (from "The Gazette"):

   • Source and Date: Marked “2 October 15, 1971 The Gazette.”
   • Image: A smaller, cropped version of the same Piranesi etching titled “The Prisons.”
   • Caption: Confirms it is “‘The Prisons,’ one of a first edition series of 14 etchings by Giovanni Piranesi (1720-1778) that may be seen in the Print Room at the Fogg, 2-5 p.m. through October 19.”

3. Bottom Right Clipping (from "The Quincy Patriot Ledger"):

   • Source and Date: “The Quincy Patriot Ledger, Dec. 30, 1971.” (Note: This clipping is dated later than the others but is placed on the same page.)
   • Image: A black-and-white reproduction of a 17th-century Indian painting—a portrait of the infant prince Shah Shuja, circa 1618, by the artist Abud Haami. The image shows a young child in traditional attire, seated and holding small objects.

In summary, the scrapbook page documents public announcements and reviews for exhibitions of European (Piranesi) and Indian (Mughal-era portraiture) art at Harvard’s Fogg Museum in late 1971, reflecting the museum’s programming and community outreach during that time. The clippings provide context for the artworks, their artists, and their display periods.
