The image appears to be a scanned copy of two newspaper articles from "The Boston Globe" dated Friday, September 27, 1974. The first article, titled "Fogg to show Radcliffe art," is written by Alison Arnold and discusses an upcoming art exhibition at the Fogg Art Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The article details the exhibition, titled "The Discerning Eye," which will feature art collected by Radcliffe College alumnae and includes a symposium on the arts and society. The symposium is scheduled for October 11-15 and will feature prominent speakers from the United States and Canada.

The second article, titled "Manipulative developments sampled in Fogg shadow," is written by Deac Rossell, a Globe Correspondent. This article focuses on the "Photography Unlimited" exhibition at the Fogg Museum, which explores contemporary photographic techniques and processes. The article highlights various photographers and their work, discussing both the strengths and weaknesses of the exhibition. The tone of the article seems to be somewhat critical, noting that the exhibition is a large group show with a diverse selection of works, which can sometimes lead to inconsistencies in quality and artistic value.

Both articles are attached to a piece of brown paper, which is in turn attached to a larger, light-colored paper. The scans appear to be slightly aged, with some discoloration and minor creases, indicating they are from a physical copy of the newspaper.

This image shows a collection of clipped articles from The Boston Globe, dated Friday, September 27, 1974. The articles are taped or pasted onto a beige folder.

The left article, titled "Fogg to show Radcliffe art," discusses a special exhibition of art collected by Radcliffe alumnae and a symposium on the arts and today's society. The event is titled "The Discerning Eye" and is scheduled to take place at the Fogg Art Museum in Cambridge from October 10 to November 24. The article mentions that the exhibition is inspired by a desire to pay tribute to distinguished alumnae such as Gertrude Stein and Helen Keller. It also details the inclusion of rare manuscripts, antique silver and furniture, as well as sculpture and painting, many of which have never been shown to the public. The symposium will feature prominent speakers from the United States and Canada, and there will be panel discussions. The article also mentions a champagne reception and preview on October 9 and a series of private dinner parties and the gala preview for patrons and sponsors.

The right article, titled "Manipulative developments sampled in Fogg shadow," discusses an exhibition at the Fogg Museum in Cambridge, which is making its bid to survey manipulative developments in contemporary photography. The exhibition, called "Photography Unlimited," features nearly 100 prints and objects by 46 photographers. The article mentions various photographers and their techniques, such as William Larson, Linda Connor, and Karen Truax. The article also discusses the cost of maintaining one bed in the Boston Hospital for Women in 1875, which was approximately $150 per day, and the current cost of maintaining one bed for one day, which is $150, 100 years later.

The folder has two holes punched on the left side, suggesting it might be part of a binder.

Right Article: “Manipulative developments sampled in Fogg shadow”

• By: Dear Russell, Globe Correspondent
• Page: 42
• Section: STILL PHOTOGRAPHY

This article reviews the “Photography Unlimited” exhibition, focusing on its theme of manipulated and unconventional photographic processes.

• The exhibit highlights experimental, “manipulative” photography using materials like metal, fur, stretched canvas, glass, wood, and graphite — techniques moving beyond traditional printmaking.
• The major manipulative process showcased is the “gun-bichromate, gold toning, etc.” method, which brings new processes into the medium.
• Photographers featured include William Larsen, Linda Connor, John Wood, John Dugdale, John MacMullin, and others.
• The article notes the “unlimited” nature of the show, which includes both “manipulative” and “traditional” silver prints.
• It critiques some works for being “unintelligible,” “excessive,” or “over-elaborate,” while praising others — particularly Gary Hallman’s “Minneapolis Rose Garden” — for technical mastery and focus.
• The review suggests the show is more about technique and experimentation than about the individual personalities of the artists.
• It questions whether “Photography Unlimited” is a definitive statement or simply an “inclusive” survey, but concludes that it is “like eating dinner in a good French restaurant — you end up having to eat everything on your plate.”

Overall Context:
Both articles cover the same exhibition from complementary perspectives — one focusing on the institutional and social event (Radcliffe alumnae celebration) and the other on the artistic content (experimental photography). Together, they present a detailed snapshot of Boston’s 1974 art scene, centered at the Fogg Art Museum.

The clipping is preserved in a simple, archival-style manner — likely for personal, institutional, or research purposes — and appears to be in good condition despite its age.
