The image shows a photograph of a section of a vintage newspaper, specifically The Harvard Crimson, dated October 20, 1927. The newspaper is bound with a red leather cover and appears to be aged, with yellowed pages and some stains visible. The content of the pages discusses art exhibitions at the Fogg Art Museum, with several articles praising the Turner and Ruskin exhibitions. One article by J.W. Myer '23 highlights the collection of Turner's drawings, while another, by Eric R.D. Maclagan, praises the Fogg Art Museum. The text is dense and formal, typical of newspaper articles from that era. The newspaper seems to have been preserved for historical or educational purposes, as it is protected by archival paper and plastic sleeves.
This image shows an open book with several newspaper clippings pasted on the pages. The clippings appear to be from the Harvard Crimson, dated October 20, 1927, and October 21, 1927. The articles discuss exhibitions at the Fogg Art Museum, focusing on the works of J.M.W. Turner and John Ruskin.
The top article, titled "New Setting Becomes Early Fogg Treasures," discusses the Turner and Ruskin exhibition and how it has been received. It mentions that the collection is one of the oldest in the museum and provides an excellent selection of Turner's drawings.
The second article, "Fogg Exhibition of Turner and Ruskin Draws Praise," continues the discussion of the exhibition, highlighting the praise it has received and the quality of the works on display.
The third article, "MacLagan Praises Fogg Art Museum," features comments from Victoria and Albert Museum Director Eric R. D. MacLagan, who makes a favorable comparison of the Fogg Art Museum to other institutions.
The right side of the page contains additional text and advertisements, including information about exhibitions at various art museums and galleries, as well as museum lectures on the history of design and appreciation of art.
The book itself appears to be bound with a red cover, and the pages are slightly yellowed, indicating their age. There are also some clear plastic strips visible, possibly used to hold the clippings in place.
This image displays an open, well-worn scrapbook with a rich, reddish-brown or maroon cloth binding. The pages are filled with yellowed newspaper clippings from the autumn of 1927, meticulously preserved and mounted. The scrapbook is open to two pages, showcasing articles centered around the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard.
The visible clippings, dated October 20 and 21, 1927, document the reception of a major exhibition titled “Fogg Exhibition of Turner and Ruskin.” The main article on the left page is headlined “NEW SETTING BECOMES EARLY FOGG TREASURES” and sub-headed “GIVES EXCELLENT SELECTION OF TURNER’S DRAWINGS.” It notes that the exhibition features drawings from the Turner and Ruskin collections, which were previously held by the museum but are now presented in a newly renovated setting—the “new museum just [opened] June.” The article, written by J.W. Myer ’23, commends the exhibition for its quality despite some reservations.
On the right page, a prominent article is titled “FOGG EXHIBITION OF TURNER AND RUSKIN DRAWS PRAISE,” with a sub-head noting that “Ruskin Draws Praise.” It quotes Arthur Pope on the “essential character of the subject,” and includes commentary from Charles Eliot Norton, who praised Ruskin’s “keener appreciation of pictorial design.”
Below this, a clipping from the Harvard Crimson dated October 21, 1927, reads “MACLAGAN PRAISES FOGG ART MUSEUM,” reporting on Victoria and Albert Museum Director Professor Eric R. D. MacLagan’s favorable comparison of the Fogg to major international institutions. It highlights his two main criticisms: that the Fogg has “acquired its person[ality]” too slowly and that “Star Pieces Should Be Accessible” to the public.
The overall impression is of a curated historical record, likely compiled by someone closely associated with Harvard, to preserve the critical response to a significant milestone in the Fogg Museum’s early history. The scrapbook’s physical appearance—slightly tattered pages, adhesive residue, and visible wear—adds to its authenticity as a personal archive of cultural and academic history. The context suggests a celebration of the museum’s new facilities and its growing stature in the art world.
