This image displays a page from a newspaper clipping scrapbook, likely from The Crimson, the Harvard University student newspaper, dated Friday, December 12, 1975. The page is mounted on a tan paper or cardboard backing and features three distinct articles and photographs, all related to the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard.
On the right side, a prominent art review by Kathy Garrett discusses an exhibition titled “Lions Crushing Serpents: Metamorphoses in 19th-Century Sculpture” at the Fogg Museum. The exhibition ran from January 7, 1976, and featured numerous identical-looking sculptures—18 statues of Diana, 8 busts of Benjamin Franklin, and 23 plaques of Robert Louis Stevenson—arranged to appear redundant but subtly varied. The article notes that these variations are intentional and relate to the direction Franklin is gazing. The review is signed by Seymour Slive, then Gleason Professor of Fine Arts and Director of the Fogg Art Museum. A small black-and-white photo below the headline shows silhouetted bronze sculptures of archers.
On the upper left, a large, high-contrast photograph features a bust of the Marquis de Lafayette, carved in marble by Houdon (1903). The bust is labeled “LAFAYETTE” on its base. Below the photo, a caption explains that this is part of the Fogg’s second of three Bicentennial exhibitions titled “Harvard Honors Lafayette,” curated by Agnes Mongan, then former Director of the Fogg. The exhibition, running through March 12, included portraits, documents, and Lafayette memorabilia drawn from Harvard Collections and other New England sources.
Beneath the Lafayette article is a smaller announcement detailing the Fogg Museum’s annual Christmas card sale, which continued through December 22 in the Fogg Courtyard. It featured more than 20 different cards—11 new ones—priced from 25¢ and up, with subjects ranging from medieval to modern, all from the Fogg’s permanent collection. The announcement is accompanied by a grid of nine thumbnail black-and-white images of the cards for sale, depicting various artworks: an elephant, a woman in profile, floral still lifes, and other decorative prints.
Handwritten in red pencil, the date “Dec 12 1975” appears at the top of both the Lafayette photo and the Christmas card section. On the top right of the newspaper clipping, “Crimson Friday Dec 12 1975” is written in blue pen. These annotations confirm the clipping’s origin and date.
This scrapbook page is a well-organized historical document capturing the cultural life of Harvard’s Fogg Art Museum in December 1975, highlighting major exhibitions, curatorial notes, and community events.

The article discusses the curatorial efforts of Jeanne Wasserman and the staff of the Fogg Museum to explore the variations in the works, emphasizing that these variations are not due to whimsical changes.
