Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays a collection of printed materials—primarily magazine pages and clippings—arranged on an open, aged, brown-paper-covered book or folder. The materials appear to be curated for research or archival purposes.

The main focus is a large article from the September 1972 issue of Boston Review of the Arts, page 47. This article, titled “Recent Works by Fred Brink,” discusses documentary photography and its historical context. It covers:

• The Peabody collection, which includes works by Frances B. Johnston on institutions like “New York Public Schools” and “Salvation Army.”
• The work of Waldemar Titzenthaler, a German photographer who documented Berlin life in the 1890s.
• The rise of agency-supported photography (e.g., Farm Security Administration) and its impact on modern documentary styles.
• The concept of “Documentary Photography” as an evolving genre, referencing theorists like Hine, Riis, and Atget.

The article features two black-and-white photographs:

1. A portrait of a man with a mustache and a bowler hat, likely from the early 20th century.
2. A group photograph of several men wearing dark, possibly military or guard-style uniforms, including a distinctive peaked cap. The article notes this is “The Cooper and The Boiler,” depicting "men among the finest works in the show" by Titzenthaler.

On the right side of the main article is a smaller clipping titled “EXECUTIVE ORDER 9066: THE INTERNMENT OF 110,000 JAPANESE-AMERICANS” by Maisie and Richard Conrat, from the California Historical Society. This piece discusses the 1942 executive order, the Supreme Court case Korematsu v. United States, and the subsequent publication of a book documenting the internment with photographs and text.

At the top of the page is a partial clipping from the “CAMBRIDGE MAGAZINE” (Vol. 5, No. 3), dated September 1972. It announces cultural affairs, including:

• The Fogg Art Museum’s exhibition “Recent Figure Sculpture” (on display through October 24).
• An exhibition of German Master Drawings of the Nineteenth Century, scheduled for October 4 – November 18 at the Busch-Reisinger Museum, Harvard University.

The arrangement suggests a researcher’s or student’s notes, connecting themes of documentary photography, historical events (like Japanese-American internment), and art exhibitions from the early 1970s. The overall impression is one of academic or journalistic research, compiling sources for a project or study.

The items are physically attached to the book/folder with pieces of tape, indicating a hands-on, analog method of organizing information.

At the top left corner of the page and partly obstructed by a rolled document, the text "CAMBRIDGE HARVARD" followed by incomplete words suggests a connection to an institution or location, possibly associated with Harvard University.
