This image shows an open, aged book or scrapbook, with its left page displaying a single, mounted newspaper clipping. The right page of the book is blank.

The clipping is titled “The Calendar” in a large, bold, serif font. Handwritten in pen above the title is the text “Gazette 3/18/73”, indicating the source and date of the clipping.

Below the title is a black-and-white photograph, which appears to be a portrait of two figures. The figure on the right is standing and wearing a light-colored smock or coat over a collared shirt; the figure on the left is seated in profile and is also depicted in light tones. The image has a soft, somewhat grainy quality.

Beneath the photograph is a block of text providing context:

“The Photography Department of the Fogg has moved to join the quarters of the Print Room off the courtyard, and may be visited Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. The works of 11 contemporary American photographers are on continuous exhibit. The photograph here: ‘Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia O’Keeffe, An American Place,’ taken by Arnold Newman in 1943.”

The book’s pages are a muted beige or light brown, showing signs of aging. The binding visible on the right edge is a darker reddish-brown. The overall impression is one of an archival document or personal collection preserving a moment in institutional or photographic history.
