Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays a single page from a scrapbook or archival collection, presented on a light brown, textured paper background with two visible punch holes along the left margin, suggesting it was stored in a binder.

Affixed to this page are two distinct newspaper clippings from different publications, arranged vertically:

Top Clipping: The Boston Globe

• Source: The Boston Globe, dated Tuesday, November 12, 1974, page 19.
• Headline: “2 of 3 coin theft suspects released without charge”
• Content: This article reports on the arrest and subsequent release of suspects in connection with the theft of rare coins from Harvard’s Fogg Museum. It details that two of the three men arrested were released without charges due to lack of evidence. The third, Alan I. Kirchick, is being held pending a bail hearing. The article elaborates on the ongoing investigation into the December 2, 1973, robbery of 5,650 ancient Greek and Roman coins worth an estimated $8 million. It also mentions that about half the coins were recovered in Lincoln, R.I., and discusses other suspects, including Anthony Vaglica and Louis Ma… (the name is cut off). The FBI, including agent Carroll Farmer, is involved in the case.

Bottom Clipping: New York Times

• Source: The New York Times, with the headline and byline visible, though the date is not clearly legible in this view (the article’s context suggests it is from the 1970s or later).
• Headline: “Superb Display on Richardson Buildings”
• Byline: Written by Paul Goldberger, “Special to The New York Times”
• Location: Cambridge, Mass.
• Content: This piece is a critical appreciation of the legacy of architect Henry Hobson Richardson. It notes that despite his death in 1886, a growing body of scholarship is restoring his reputation, especially through the preservation and study of his surviving buildings in the Boston area. The article describes Richardson’s architectural style — massive forms, picturesque yet powerful — and positions him as a precursor to Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright. It argues his monumental, humane works are valuable lessons for architecture today.
• Accompanying Image: A black-and-white reproduction of a portrait painting of Henry Hobson Richardson, credited to Sir Hubert von Herkomer (1886). Richardson is depicted seated, with a contemplative pose, holding what may be a drawing or plans.
• Advertisements: Below the article, several advertisements are visible, including:
  • “MARIO THOMAS” in The Threepenny Opera at Ford’s Theater (NYC), featuring Richard Mulligan.
  • “RISTORANTE ITALIANA” in Boston.
  • “THE MAHOGANY BAR” (likely from a play review).

Overall Description

The image captures two newspaper articles from major U.S. newspapers, preserved in an archival manner. The articles are thematically unrelated — one is a crime report detailing a theft and its legal aftermath, while the other is a cultural/arts piece celebrating a 19th-century American architect. The physical presentation suggests someone collected and preserved these clippings for personal, academic, or historical reference. The juxtaposition of crime journalism and arts criticism offers a snapshot of diverse public interests in mid-1970s America.

The image appears to be a scanned copy of two newspaper clippings attached to a beige background. The top clipping is from "The Boston Globe" dated Tuesday, November 12, 1974, and discusses the release of two out of three coin theft suspects without charges due to a lack of evidence. It mentions details about the case, including the recovery of some coins in Lincoln, Rhode Island, and details about the suspects.

The bottom clipping is from "The New York Times" and is titled "Superb Display on Richardson Buildings" by Paul Goldberger. It discusses Henry Hobson Richardson, a 19th-century American architect, and includes a photograph of Richardson, taken by Sir Hubert von Herkomer in 1886. The article highlights Richardson's architectural work and influence, particularly his use of Romanesque forms and his significant contributions to the American architectural scene. The clipping also includes advertisements for a play titled "The Thieves" by Herbe Gardner and another for "Rusticana," along with some other listings.
