The image appears to be a scanned page from a book or a scrapbook. On the left side, there is a typed article titled "Grants to Aid Professionals in Museums," which discusses the announcement of nearly $500,000 in grants for museum professionals. It mentions specific recipients and their projects, such as Judith Applegate receiving funds for a book on the decorative arts and Louise Cort receiving funds for a visit to Japan. The article also notes a temporary exhibition of 19th-century English prints, drawings, and watercolors at the Museum of Fine Arts, including works by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
On the right side of the page, there is a black-and-white photograph of a woman, presumably Mrs. Nixon, looking up at a portrait of President John Adams, which is described in the caption as being on loan from the Fogg Art Museum of Harvard University. The photograph is labeled "LOCAL ART TREASURE" and is credited to AP, with a handwritten note at the bottom right that says "by John Trumbull H 73." The date "8/9/72" and a reference to the "Boston Herald Record Am." are also noted at the top of the photograph.
This image shows a vintage scrapbook page with a mounted newspaper clipping and a photograph from the Boston Herald Record (dated 8/9/72). The focus of the clipping is an article titled "Grants to Aid Professionals In Museums," which discusses financial support totaling nearly $500,000 awarded by the National Endowment for the Arts for museum professionals and their projects. The text mentions specific recipients, including Judith Applegate from DeCordova Museum and Louise Cort from the Fogg Art Museum of Harvard University, along with details of their grants and projects.
The photograph, captioned "LOCAL ART TREASURE," features a woman, identified as Mrs. Nixon, viewing a portrait of President John Adams (1793). The portrait is on a long-term loan from the Fogg Art Museum and is described as a colonial art piece intended for the White House Blue Room. The image of the portrait is displayed on a wall above an ornate fireplace.
In the bottom right corner of the photograph, handwritten notes read "by John Trumbull H73," attributing the portrait to the artist John Trumbull. The page has been placed on a light gray background, and the scrapbook appears aged, with a yellowed, slightly worn appearance.
This image shows a single page from an old scrapbook or newspaper clipping album. The page is a tan or beige color and appears aged, with visible wear and discoloration. Two newspaper clippings are pasted onto the page.
1. Left Clipping: “Grants to Aid Professionals In Museums”
This is a text-only article from the Boston Herald, dated September 1973 (indicated by “9/73” at the top of the clipping). The article announces nearly $500,000 in grants for museum professionals from the National Endowment for the Arts. It specifically mentions Massachusetts recipients:
The article also mentions an upcoming exhibit of 18th-century English prints and drawings, including works by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, to be shown at the Museum of Fine Arts through October 29. A short paragraph at the bottom describes police bomb experts searching galleries after a bomb threat, but nothing was found.
2. Right Clipping: “LOCAL ART TREASURE — Mrs. Nixon views a portrait of President John Adams, 1793...”
This is a black-and-white photograph with a caption underneath.
Image Description: The photo shows First Lady Pat Nixon standing in an ornate room, looking upward at a large, formal portrait of President John Adams. The portrait is of a man in 18th-century clothing (a white wig and dark coat), framed in gold. The room appears to be formal, possibly the White House Blue Room, as indicated in the caption. Behind Mrs. Nixon are a decorative fireplace mantel, a small table or chest with a circular emblem, and a doorway into another room with candelabras visible.
Caption: “LOCAL ART TREASURE — Mrs. Nixon views a portrait of President John Adams, 1793, which is on long term loan from the Fogg Art Museum of Harvard University. The colonial art work is to hang in the White House Blue Room. — (AP)”
Credit: The photo is credited to “by John Trumbull” — though this is likely an error, as John Trumbull was a painter who created portraits of Adams, but the photographer is probably someone else (perhaps the photographer’s name was misattributed or misread); the credit line also includes “H 73”, possibly indicating “Herald 1973”.
Handwritten Annotations:
Handwritten in pencil at the top right of the photo clipping is:
“S 19/73 Boston Herald, Recordgram”
(Note: “Recordgram” may refer to a publication or section, and the date may also be “9/19/73”.)
At the bottom right of the photo clipping, also in pencil:
“by John Trumbull H 73”
Overall Context:
The scrapbook page documents two cultural/art-related news items from September 1973, both involving major American museums (Fogg Art Museum, DeCordova Museum) and the White House. One highlights government funding for museum professionals; the other showcases a historic portrait being loaned to the White House, viewed by First Lady Pat Nixon. The items are clearly curated by someone interested in art, museums, and cultural policy. The inclusion of the handwritten dating and source notes suggests an organized archiving effort.
Note: There is a possible confusion in the photo credit — John Trumbull was the artist who painted portraits of John Adams, not the photographer. The photographer’s name is likely mislabeled or misindexed in this scrapbook.
A scrapbook page with two newspaper clippings is attached to the page. The clipping on the left is titled "Grants to Aid Professionals in Museums" and is about the grants announced by the National Endowment for the Arts. The clipping on the right is titled "LOCAL ART TREASURE" and features a portrait of President John Adams, which is on loan from the Fogg Art Museum of Harvard University.
The image shows an open book with two pages. The left page contains a text about grants to aid professionals in museums. The right page features a black-and-white photo of a woman standing in front of a door with a chandelier, accompanied by a caption that reads "LOCAL ART TREASURE-Mrs. Nixon views a portrait of President John Adams, 1793, which is on long loan from the Fogg Art Museum of Harvard University."

The page appears to be from a news clipping or report discussing grants awarded to professionals in museums, with a focus on cultural and artistic initiatives. The photograph highlights a significant historical artifact (a portrait of John Adams) and its display, emphasizing the intersection of art, history, and public engagement. The annotations suggest the document may have been part of an archive or collection, possibly from a newspaper or institutional record.
The image shows a portion of an open scrapbook or journal with newspaper clippings pasted onto the left page. The newspaper clippings contain articles and images related to art and museums. One article is titled "Grants to Aid Professionals in Museums" and discusses federal grants for museum staffing and the improvement of collections. Another piece features a photograph with the caption "LOCAL ART TREASURE—Mrs. Nixon views a portrait of President John Adams," indicating a historical piece on loan from an art museum, although further specifics are obscured.
The scrapbook page itself has a neutral brown color, and you can see the edge of the right page, indicating the book is larger than shown. There's visible handwriting at the top of the clipping on the right, probably annotations related to the scrapbook. The date '1973' is also written, providing context to the time period of the articles. The overall appearance suggests this scrapbook may have been used to collect articles of interest possibly related to museums, art, and historical records.
