This image displays a page from a vintage scrapbook, likely from the year 1973, featuring newspaper clippings related to events at the Fogg Art Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The scrapbook page is mounted on brown paper and contains four distinct newspaper articles and notices, most dated May 10, 1973. Handwritten notes and annotations accompany some of the clippings.
This prominent article, from The Harvard Crimson dated May 9, 1973, includes a black-and-white photograph of three men:
The caption explains that these men helped recover eight stolen Greek coins from the Fogg Art Museum. The coins, valued at $90,000, were from the 5th and 6th centuries B.C. The museum held a special reception on April 6 to honor the trio and others who contributed to the recovery effort.
This article, from the Boston Globe, May 10, 1973, is titled “Medley / By Bill Fripp”. It discusses genealogical research conducted by one Mrs. Muldoon, who helps clients trace their family backgrounds. She notes that some clients become upset if their progenitor’s name was spelled differently than their own — for example, she mentions that George Washington’s ancestral name was “George Wesington.”
Above this clipping, a handwritten note reads, “udely tak” — likely an incomplete or miswritten annotation.
