This image shows an open scrapbook or archival folder, displaying two newspaper clippings mounted on aged, cream-colored pages.
The top clipping is titled “THERESE KUHN STRAUSS GIFT ENRICHES FOGG’S HOLDINGS.” It details a significant art donation to the Fogg Museum by Therese Kuhn Strauss, given in memory of her husband. The collection includes 60 works from the 16th to 19th centuries, with highlights such as Italian Renaissance bronzes, French portrait drawings by Quentin and Clodion, and works by Boucher, Fragonard, Hubert Robert, and others. The article notes that Harvard students in Professor Seymour Slive’s museum problems seminar prepared the exhibition and accompanying catalogue, making this donation both a scholarly project and a gift. A small black-and-white reproduction of a drawing, “Reclining Nude, 1754,” by François Boucher, is featured next to the text.
Handwritten in pencil on the top right of this clipping is “June, 1978.”
The bottom clipping, titled “Two sanctuaries from the heat,” discusses the Boston Public Library’s role as a refuge during hot weather, particularly highlighting the importance of its branch libraries. It mentions recent financial pressures on the library system, the reopening of the bookmobile, and a renewed emphasis on branch accessibility. It also references the simultaneous exhibition at the Fogg Museum (mentioned in the top article) as an additional “sanctuary,” noting the exhibit's scope, including 40 surviving models for Bernini’s sculptures and American paintings.
A date, “8/19/98,” has been handwritten on the upper right portion of this lower clipping.
On the left-hand page of the open folder, visible through a black border, is a vertical index labeled A through H, with the handwritten date “April 2003” at the top. The entire presentation suggests this is a curated archival or personal collection of articles, possibly kept for research or sentimental reasons. The yellowed paper and handwritten annotations give it a historical, personal quality.
A book is open to a page that displays two articles. The first article on the left side is about the Therese Kuhn Straus Gift, which enriches the Fogg's holdings. It includes an image of a woman in a reclining position with a man's hand on her shoulder. The second article on the right side is about two sanctuaries from the heat. It includes an image of a globe with the words "Globe" written on it.
The image is a page from a newspaper or magazine. It contains two articles, one about the Boston Public Library and the other about the Fogg Art Museum. The article about the Boston Public Library discusses the challenges the library faces, such as budget cuts and the need for expansion. It mentions that the library has closed its branch and suspended its bookmobile service, but the bookmobile is back on the road with fewer stops. The article also mentions that the library is part of the university center and a new library and study center is being built. The article about the Fogg Art Museum discusses the recent acquisition of 60 works of art from the estate of Therese Kuhn Straus. The collection includes Italian Renaissance bronzes, French portrait drawings, and French drawings. The museum plans to exhibit the collection on May 18 and use it as a laboratory for students to learn about museum work and curation. The article also mentions that the museum is closed on Labor Day and the current exhibit will run through September.
The image depicts two pages from a publication, likely a newspaper or magazine, dated June 1978. The left page is titled "Therese Kuhn Strauss Gift Enriches Fogg's Holdings" and discusses the donation of 60 works of art to the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University in memory of Therese Kuhn Strauss. The text details the contents of the donation, which include Italian Renaissance bronzes, French portraits, and a small terra-cotta bust of Voltaire, among other items. It also mentions that the collection will be on view at the museum from May 13 to June 18, 1978, and highlights the educational use of the collection for students.
The right page is titled "Two sanctuaries from the heat" and discusses the opening of the new branch library in Dorchester, Massachusetts, as a sanctuary from the heat during a hot summer. It also mentions the Fogg Museum's exhibition of protective treasures and its efforts to raise funds for a 50 percent expansion. The article highlights the importance of libraries and museums as community resources during extreme weather conditions.
The layout includes a handwritten note in the top left corner of the left page, reading "April 2003", and a handwritten note in the top right corner of the right page, reading "8/19/78", indicating the date of the publication or a reference to the article.
