Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays a vintage archival document, likely from the early 1970s, mounted on a simple, light-brown paper folder. The folder has two visible punch holes on the right-hand side, suggesting it was stored in a binder.

There are two distinct pieces of paper affixed to the folder:

1. Top-Left Clipping:

   • This is a newspaper or magazine clipping, likely from The Gazette (as handwritten in the top left corner).
   • The headline reads “The Calendar” in bold, black type.
   • Below the headline is a black-and-white reproduction of a drawing titled “Pastoral Landscape.”
   • A caption beneath the image states: “Pastoral Landscape, one of 60 drawings from an album of collected drawings by Claude Lorrain now on exhibit at the Fogg and on loan from the Norton Simon, Inc. Museum of Art in California.”
   • Handwritten annotations in pencil at the top left indicate the date “10/12/73” and page number “p. 4”.

2. Centered Letter:

   • This is a formal, typewritten letter on white letterhead.
   • The letterhead is for “ANTIQUES” magazine, with the address “551 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK, N.Y. 10017” printed in red.
   • The body of the letter reads:

     Thank you for sending a review copy of your publication
     American Art At Harvard
     You will be interested to know that it was
     listed in our regular feature “Books about
     antiques” for October 1973. We list books
     as they are received in order to bring them
     to readers’ attention as soon as possible.
     Such a listing does not preclude a review at
     a later date.
     - It is signed “Sincerely,” followed by the handwritten signature of “Karen D. Berson”, and her typed title, “Book review editor”.

The items collectively suggest a connection between a book titled American Art At Harvard, the magazine ANTIQUES, and an exhibition of Claude Lorrain’s drawings — likely all part of an academic or arts-related correspondence or archive from October 1973.

The image shows a document placed on a light gray background. The document appears to be a letter or a card from "Antiques," located at 551 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y., 10017. The letter is typed and addressed to someone who has sent a review copy of a publication titled "American Art At Harvard." The letter thanks the sender for the review copy and informs them that the publication has been listed in the magazine's regular feature "Books about antiques" for October 1973. It notes that new books are listed as they are received to bring them to readers' attention as soon as possible and that such a listing does not preclude a review at a later date. At the bottom, there is a signature that reads "Karen D. Ranson," identified as the book review editor.

Above the letter, there is a small printed calendar page with a black-and-white illustration of a pastoral landscape, labeled "Pastoral Landscape, one of 60 drawings from an album of collected drawings by Claude Lorrain now on exhibit at the Fogg and on loan from the Norton Simon, Inc. Museum of Art in California." The calendar page is dated October 12, 1973, and appears to be attached to the larger document with a hole punch on the right side.

This image shows a sheet of brown paper with two separate documents attached to it.

   • Title: "The Calendar"
   • Date: 10/12/73

The brown paper has two holes punched on the right side, likely for binding or filing purposes.

The image shows a piece of paper with a letter and a magazine cover attached to it. The paper is brown and has a hole punch in the top right corner.

The letter is addressed to someone and expresses gratitude for sending a review copy of a publication. The letter also mentions that the publication was listed in their regular feature "Books about antiques" for October 1973. The clipping from the magazine is a page from "The Gazette" with the headline "The Calendar" and a picture of a landscape. The clipping also mentions an exhibit of drawings by an artist named Clade Lorrain at a museum in California.

The image depicts a wooden board with two distinct items attached to it:

1. Top Item: "The Calendar"

   • This is a printed card or flyer with the title "The Calendar" prominently displayed at the top.
   • Below the title, there is an illustration of a scenic landscape featuring trees, hills, and a body of water, possibly a lake or river.
   • Beneath the illustration, there is a caption that reads:
     "Pastoral Landscape: one of 60 drawings from an album of collected drawings by Claude Lorrain now on exhibit at the Fogg and on loan from the Norton Simon, Inc., Museum of Art in California."
   • In the top left corner of the card, there is a handwritten note that says:

   • The letter is signed "Sincerely, Karen D. Beason, Book review editor."

The overall scene suggests an archival or organizational setting, possibly a filing or reference system, where these items are pinned to a wooden board for easy access or display. The combination of the artistic illustration and the formal letter indicates a context related to art, publications, and academic or museum-related correspondence.

This image contains two documents mounted on a brown sheet of paper.

The first document, in the top left corner, appears to be a newspaper clipping with the title "The Calendar." It includes a small black-and-white illustration of a pastoral landscape with trees, hills, and a figure in the foreground. The accompanying caption mentions that the drawing is one of 60 collected drawings by Claude Lorrain on exhibit at the Fogg Museum of Art and on loan from the Norton Simon Museum of Art in California. There's handwriting above the clipping, indicating "The Gazette 10/12/73, pg. 4."

The second document, positioned below the clipping, is a typed letter on paper with the heading "ANTIQUES 551 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK, N.Y. 10017." The letter is addressed to "American Art At Harvard," thanking them for sending a review copy of their publication and informing them that it was listed in the "Books about antiques" feature for October 1973. The letter explains that books are listed upon receipt to bring them to the readers' attention but notes this inclusion does not preclude a later review. The letter is signed at the bottom by "Karen D. Brown, Book review editor."

The image displays a montage of two pieces of paper mounted on a brown cardboard background. The upper piece appears to be a cut-out from a publication called "The Gazette," dated 10/12/73, and features an illustration captioned "The Calendar." The image within this clipping is labeled "Pastoral Landscape; one of 60 drawings from an album of collected drawings by Claude Lorrain now on exhibit at the Fogg and on loan from the Norton Simon, Inc. Museum of Art in California."

Below this is a typewritten letter on the letterhead "ANTIQUES 551 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK, N.Y. 10017." The letter reads:

"Thank you for sending a review copy of your publication

a later date.

There is a pushpin hole above the letter, indicating that this montage may have been displayed on a wall or bulletin board at some point.

The image shows a brown piece of paper with two items affixed to it.

At the top left corner, there is a small, yellowed newspaper clipping from "The Gazette" dated 10/12/73, page 4, under the heading "The Calendar". The clipping features a black-and-white sketch of a pastoral landscape with trees, hills, and a few figures, including one person sitting near a tree. The caption reads: "Pastoral Landscape, one of 60 drawings from an album of collected drawings by Claude Lorrain now on exhibit at the Fogg and on loan from the Norton Simon, Inc. Museum of Art in California."

Below the clipping, there is a typed letter on stationery from "ANTIQUES 551 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK, N.Y. 10017."

The image shows a brown scrapbook page with two clipped items attached:

• In the upper left is a small newspaper clipping titled “The Calendar.” It includes a black-and-white pastoral landscape illustration. There are some handwritten notes in the corner (looks like date and a title “THE GAZETTE”).

• Below it is a white letter from ANTIQUES, 551 Fifth Avenue, New York. The page has the red “ANTIQUES” header and a block of typewritten text thanking the recipient for sending a review copy of a publication, mentioning Harvard’s American Art, and noting that it was listed in the October 1973 feature “Books about antiques.” It’s signed by the book review editor.

The page also has two binder holes on the right edge and overall looks like a page from a scrapbook or archival file.
