This image displays a single page from an old, open publication, likely a magazine or journal, with aged, yellowish-brown paper visible on the left-hand side and binding. The main content is a printed article on white paper, identified at the bottom right as the Harvard Bulletin, January 1973, page 65.
The article consists of three columns of dense, justified text. The content discusses the life and character of a man named Eliot — likely Charles W. Eliot, the influential president of Harvard University — drawing on assessments from contemporaries like Professor Hawkin and Professor Bliss Perry. It touches on his presidency, his views on education, his personality (described as “cold,” “austere, unbending, icy autocrat” but also “fair, gentlemanly and pleasant”), and his legacy.
Centrally placed below the first two columns and overlapping the third is a black-and-white reproduction of a drawing or print.
The illustration depicts the mythological figures Pan and Psyche. Pan, a bearded satyr with goat-like legs and horns, is crouched or seated, leaning over Psyche, who is reclining nude. The scene has a classical, somewhat melancholic or intimate tone, rendered in an etching or engraving style with fine lines and cross-hatching for shading. The background features stylized rocks or cliffs.
Beneath the illustration, a caption reads:
Pan and Psyche, represented here in a painting by Sir Edward Burne-Jones, hung for 25 years in a dimly lit stairwell in the upper reaches of the Fogg Art Museum, their privacy rarely violated by the dilated eyes of passers-by. With them in the discreet dark were other Pre-Raphaelite personages, chosen from the Fogg's holdings (unarranged in the United States) of works by Ford Madox Brown, Sir John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and others. On January 16 some seventy Pre-Raphaelite paintings from the Fogg collection will appear downstairs, proud and properly illuminated, and will remain in plain sight out there in the open through February 25. A supplementary exhibition of paintings by Gustave Moreau and early French symbolists will invite viewers to compare a parallel movement in France.
Thus, the page blends biographical writing on a Harvard figure with an art review, using a reproduced Pre-Raphaelite painting as a visual centerpiece. The signature “Hawkins” is handwritten at the bottom center of the article text, possibly indicating the author or a note on a copy.
