• Below this clipping, there is another article about Unkei Ei's "Myna Birds" being among the Japanese paintings in "Song of the Brush" at the Fogg Art Museum. This article is accompanied by a photograph of two birds.

On the right page:

• There is a newspaper clipping from the Providence Journal, dated January 4, 1980. It features an article about Old Sturbridge Village, describing the historical reenactments and events taking place there. The clipping includes a photograph of a person in period clothing.
• Below this clipping, there is another article about "The Song of the Brush," Japanese Paintings from the Sanso Collection, which is on view at the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University. This article is accompanied by a photograph of a painting.

This image displays an open scrapbook, likely belonging to or curated by the artist Arthur M. Sackler, given the handwritten label "A Sackler 2" visible on the black spine or cover at the top left of the left-hand page. The scrapbook contains newspaper clippings meticulously mounted on aged, cream-colored paper.

The dominant feature is a large, vertically-oriented newspaper clipping from the "BOSTON PHOENIX" dated JAN 1, 1990, detailing an exhibit titled “The Song of the Brush: Japanese Paintings from the Sackler Collection” at Harvard University’s Fogg Art Museum. This clipping includes several black-and-white reproductions of Japanese ink paintings, such as one captioned “Unkei Eki’s ‘Myna Birds’ is among the Japanese paintings in ‘Song of the Brush’ at the Fogg,” and a larger landscape scene.

To the right of this Boston Phoenix clipping is a smaller, vertically-oriented clipping from the "PROVIDENCE JOURNAL" dated JAN 4, 1990, covering the same exhibition with similar content and images.

Below these two main items, at the bottom of the left-hand page, is a longer, horizontally-oriented newspaper article, likely from a later date (possibly December 1989 or January 1990), focusing on Dionysus and the exhibit “Dionysos and His Circle” also at the Fogg Art Museum. This article quotes Miss Houser, who organized the special exhibit, discussing the 6th-century BC Greek god, his representation, and the cultural context of drinking and revelry.

The right-hand page of the scrapbook is partially visible, showing more text clippings, including one with the heading "Greek god..." and a date, "DEC 29 19...", indicating continued documentation of cultural events, likely related to the Sackler Collection or the Fogg Art Museum’s programming during that period.
