Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays a vintage scrapbook page mounted on a tan, three-hole punched paper sheet, typical of archival or personal collections. The page features two black-and-white newspaper clippings, each accompanied by a descriptive caption.

The top clipping appears to be a grainy photograph of a four-piece silver condiment set, likely an engraved or decorative piece. The accompanying text identifies it as being by George Jensen of Stockholm. It notes this item is one of 40 that will go on display at the Busch-Reisinger Museum’s exhibition “Craft into Fine Art: 1880–1950,” which showcases objects from the Bauhaus and Feininger Archives, donated by Mrs. Lyonel Feininger. The exhibit runs through March 8.

The bottom clipping, from the Harvard Gazette dated January 10, 1975 (page 5), features a charming black-and-white photograph of a penguin standing upright in snow, its body dusted with flurries. The caption beneath reads: “Things looked a bit homier earlier this week to the penguin by August Gaul at the Busch-Reisinger.” This refers to a sculpture by German sculptor August Gaul, suggesting the penguin sculpture was recently placed in a snowy setting — perhaps for an exhibition or installation — to enhance its realism or appeal.

The overall composition suggests a curated collection of artifacts and documentation related to the Busch-Reisinger Museum’s displays in the mid-1970s, capturing both fine craftsmanship and engaging, whimsical elements of museum presentation. The page itself, with its slightly aged appearance and simple mounting, evokes a sense of historical preservation and institutional memory.

The top article is a photograph of a silver condiment set featuring a decorative design, with a caption underneath that describes the piece as part of an exhibit at the Busch-Reisinger Museum. The exhibition is titled "Craft into Fine Art: 1880-1950" and includes items from the complementary Bauhaus and Feininger Archives. The exhibit runs through March 8.
