This image displays a newspaper clipping mounted on a light brown, two-hole punched folder or archival sheet. The clipping is from the Phoenix newspaper, dated January 18, 1977, as handwritten in blue ink in the top right corner of the clipping.
The article, titled “Collectors’ item”, discusses a five-session seminar at Harvard’s Fogg Art Museum titled “The Pleasures of Collecting Old and New Photographs.” The seminar, led by the museum’s associate curator Davis Pratt (with guest expert Carl Siembab), is aimed at individuals interested in starting a serious collection of photographic art. It covers topics from 19th- and 20th-century photography, including pricing, value, and sources. The sessions are scheduled for Thursday evenings between February 3 and March 3, with a fee of $80 for the entire series. Contact information for registration is provided for the Friends of the Fogg, Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge, 02138, with the article attributed to Clif Garboden.
Above the article text is a large, atmospheric black-and-white photograph of a Parisian street — specifically, the Rue de Bretonvilliers, captured around 1900 by Jean Eugène-Auguste Atget. The caption notes this photograph is “high on the Fogg’s list of recommended collectables.” The image depicts a narrow, wet street flanked by old stone buildings, with an archway on the right framing the scene. A horse-drawn cart is visible in the middle distance, and the overall mood is moody and historic, characteristic of Atget’s work.
