This image shows an open, aged scrapbook displaying two distinct newspaper clippings, mounted on yellowed, textured pages.
The left clipping is from “The Boston Phoenix,” dated May 15, 1973. It is titled “Gist for The Mill” in a large, elegant script font. The article recounts a lighthearted story about a celebration held at the Fogg Museum for the recovery of nine stolen coins valued at $150,000. It mentions key figures such as Daniel Robbins, John Corcoran, and Fogg guard Jacob Blumring, detailing how the coins were recovered after a police investigation initiated by the guard noticing suspicious activity.
The right clipping, dated May 11, 1973, is more academic and visually distinct. It features a large woodcut illustration of two figures standing beneath a tree, reminiscent of classical or mythological art — identified in the caption as a woodcut by Aristide Maillol from Virgil’s Eclogues, published in 1927. Above the image is a block of Latin text in an all-caps serif font, beginning “TITYRE DUM REDEO BREVIS EST VIA...”. Below the image, more Latin text reads “MOERIS / Immo haec, quae Varo necdum perfecta canebat: / VARE TUUM NŌMEN / SUPERET MODO MANTUA NOBIS”. The article explains that twenty-one volumes of illustrated books — a gift from Eleanor Saxe Sachs ’22, A.M. ’23 — are on exhibit at Gallery XV at the Fogg. The gift includes etchings, woodcuts, lithographs, and graphics by artists such as Maillol, Braque, Matisse, Degas, Miro, Dufy, and Picasso.
The overall presentation suggests the scrapbook belongs to someone with a strong interest in art, particularly the Fogg Museum’s collection and events, blending humor, local culture, and scholarly art history. The paper artifacts show signs of age, contributing to the historical feel of the document.

The image shows an open book with two pages visible, dated May 15, 1973, and May 11, 1973, respectively. The left page is titled "Gist for The Mill" and is dated May 15, 1973. It appears to be a handwritten or typed entry, possibly a journal or log, detailing an event involving the recovery of stolen gold coins at the Fogg Museum. The text describes a celebration for the recovery of nine stolen coins valued at $100,000, which were found on a pedestal in the courtyard. The entry mentions a humorous aspect involving gold foil-wrapped chocolate coins, as well as a speech by Daniel Robbins, the head of the Fogg, and interactions with Cambridge police and city officials. The narrative also includes an anecdote about a fellow named John Corcoran and a humorous exchange involving the phrase "You are."
The right page, dated May 11, 1973, features a printed illustration and accompanying text. The illustration is a detailed woodcut or engraving depicting a classical scene with the Latin title "TITYRE DUM REDEO BREVIS EST VIA PASCE CAPELLAE ET POTUM PASTAS AGE TITYRE ET INTER AGENDUM OCCURSAR CAPRO CORNU FERIT ILLE CAVETO", which translates to "While I return, Tityrus, the path is short; graze your goats and drink your milk, Tityrus, and while tending, beware of the goat that strikes with its horn." Below the illustration, there is a caption in English: "MOERIS: VÄRE TUUM NOMEN SUPERET MODO MANTIA NOBIS", which translates to "Truly, your name will surpass ours in the future." The text beneath the illustration provides context, mentioning that the artwork is part of an edition of Virgil's Eclogues published in 1927 by the Cranach Press. It also references a gift from Eleanor Saxe Sachs to the Fogg Museum in memory of her husband, Howard J. Sachs, and notes that the illustration is part of a collection that includes etchings, suit, lithographs, and other graphic works.
The book appears to be a curated collection or scrapbook, combining handwritten entries with printed illustrations and textual annotations, likely documenting art, literature, or cultural events from the early 1970s. The entries suggest a focus on art, literature, and possibly museum-related activities.

Gist for the Mill" with a handwritten note at the top indicating "May 11, 1973."

Above the illustration, there's Latin text reading: "TITYRE DUM REDEO BREVIS EST VIA/PASCE CAPPELLAS/ET POTUM PASTAS AGE TITYRE ET/INTER AGENDUM/OCCURSARE CAVEO CORNU/OSPETO ILL," suggesting a classical or literary reference, possibly to pastoral poetry or a work by an author from antiquity like Virgil. Below the image is further Latin text: "MOERIS/Immo haec, quae Varo necdum perfecta canebat:/VERE TUUM NOME/SUPERARET MOD/NOBIS ..." affirming the suggestion of a classical or literary source.
