This image shows a page from a book or scrapbook containing a collection of black-and-white photographs and accompanying text. The page is dated January 19, 1973, and refers to an event related to The Gazette, specifically the opening of an exhibit at the Fogg Museum. The photos depict various scenes from the event, which appear to be themed around Victorian-era attire and activities. For example, one photo captures a moment from the event where guests are shown in period costume.
