The image shows a page from a book or magazine, with a section of text and a photograph. The text appears to be part of an article, with headlines and subtitles discussing the Fogg Museum acquiring Spanish art from the 12th century. The photograph is captioned "Pink Church, Cuautla, Mexico—Denman W. Ross," suggesting it is a historical photograph of a church in Cuautla, Mexico. Additionally, there are some newspaper clippings and other printed materials clipped into the book, giving the page a collage-like appearance. The left margin includes a decorative woodcut of a knight in armor, which seems to be an illustration from a different source. The overall tone of the page suggests it is from a historical or academic publication, possibly a university or art-related journal. The materials are aged, with some discoloration and wear, indicating that the content is likely from a historical period.
This image shows an open scrapbook or album with a collection of clippings and photos pasted on the pages. The left page contains a newspaper clipping with text and an illustration, while the right page has a photograph of a church labeled "Pink Church, Cuautla, Mexico—Denman W. Ross."
Overall, the image captures a historical collection of art and cultural items, likely related to academic and museum acquisitions, as well as travel photography.
This image displays an open scrapbook, bound in reddish-brown cloth, showcasing pages filled with various clippings from newspapers and magazines. The scrapbook seems to document cultural, educational, and artistic events, primarily from the early to mid-20th century.
The visible pages present two main items:
Left Page (Partially Visible):
A newspaper clipping includes a black-and-white woodcut illustration captioned “A wood-cut by Albrecht Dürer.” Below it, a headline reads:
“Fogg Museum Acquires Spanish Art”
The sub-headline specifies:
“Dated Romanesque Sculpture, 1185, From Abbey of Maria de Albana Acquired by Friends of Museum.”
The text below discusses the Fogg Museum’s acquisition of two Romanesque capitals through a gift, mentioning their origin from the Abbey of Santa Maria de la Pisa in Spain, and the historical significance of the piece.
Right Page (Main Focus):
A large, monochrome illustration or photograph of a historic building is centered on the page. The caption beneath reads:
“Pink Church, Cusutla, Mexico—Denman W. Ross.”
The building depicted is an old stone church with a tall bell tower, arched windows, and an open courtyard or plaza with a few figures walking around. Its style suggests colonial-era Mexican architecture. The attribution “Denman W. Ross” indicates the image may have been taken, drawn, or collected by Denman W. Ross, an American art collector, educator, and author associated with Harvard University.
At the very top of the right page, a smaller newspaper clipping partially overlaps the main image. Its headline reads:
“Faculty of Arts and Sciences Lists Additional Half-Courses”
And beneath, “Visiting Professors Play an Important Part in Second [Half-Course].”
This clipping appears to be from a campus publication, possibly “The Crimson” (as partially visible), indicating the scrapbook may belong to someone connected with academia — perhaps a student, faculty member, or alumni.
The overall presentation suggests this is a personal or institutional scrapbook documenting noteworthy cultural events, art acquisitions, architectural landmarks, and academic news — possibly compiled by or for someone with interests in art history and higher education.
The pages are aged, yellowed, and slightly brittle, indicating historical value, and are held open with transparent plastic clips, likely for archival display.
The image shows an open book with a black-and-white photo of a church on the right side and a text on the left side. The book is placed on a gray surface, and the pages are slightly curled. The photo depicts a church with a tower and a bell on top, with a few people standing in front of it. The text on the left side is titled "Faculty of Arts and Sciences Lists Additional Half-Courses."
An open book with a newspaper clipping inserted in the middle. The newspaper clipping is a black-and-white photograph of a church with a bell tower and a person walking in front of it. The text above the photograph reads "Pink Church, Coauti, Mexico-Denman W. Ross." The text on the left side of the book reads "Fogg Museum Acquires Span Cap Art News" and "Dated Romanesque Sculpture 1185 From Abbey of Maria de Albanza by Friends of Museum."
The image shows an open book or journal, likely from an archive or collection, with two pages visible. The left page contains a newspaper clipping titled "Fogg Museum Acquires Span Art News", dated December 13, 1927. The article discusses the acquisition of a Romanesque sculpture by Albrechts Di Maria de Albande Ave, dated 1185, from the Abbey of Santa Maria de Albande near Valencia, Spain. The article is attributed to A. Kingsley Porter and highlights the historical and artistic significance of the piece, noting its unique features and the challenges in tracing its origins.
The right page features a black-and-white illustration titled "Pink Church, Cuernavaca, Mexico—Denman W. Ross." The illustration depicts a historic church with a prominent bell tower, surrounded by a courtyard and a few figures, suggesting a colonial or early 20th-century setting. The text on the right page appears to be part of a catalog or report, with headings such as "Faculty of Arts and Sciences" and "Lists Additional Half-Courses", indicating an academic or institutional context.
The book itself has a worn, aged appearance, with visible spine markings and page edges that suggest frequent use. The pages are slightly yellowed, and the text is printed in a serif font typical of early 20th-century publications. The overall presentation suggests this is part of a historical archive or collection, possibly related to art, architecture, or academic records.
An open scrapbook or photo album with aged cream pages and a burgundy cover. The central page features a grainy black-and-white image of a tall church with a bell tower in a Mexican town, captioned something like “Pink Church, Guanajuato, Mexico.” There are small groups of people in front of the building. Surrounding it are other clipped items: on the left a woodcut-style illustration of a landscape with a figure, and above and beside it are old newspaper clippings with headlines (one about the Faculty of Arts and Sciences listing additional half-courses). The pages are held in with clear corner mounts, and the overall look is vintage and collage-like.
This is an image of a page from an old book or scrapbook. The primary image in the center is a printed artwork titled "Pink Church, Cuautla, Mexico - Denman W. Ross." The illustration depicts a historic church in Cuautla, Mexico, with a bell tower and surrounding structures in a sketch-like artistic style. In the foreground, there are faint figures of people and details suggesting a plaza or street.
Surrounding the central image are overlapping pages of text and images. The visible text includes sections from what seem to be newspaper clippings and articles, with one highlighting the "Faculty of Arts and Sciences" and offering updates on courses. Another article mentions the Fogg Museum acquiring sculptures, possibly from Spain. The scrapbook-style presentation suggests the collected materials are of historical or educational interest.
This is an image of an open book with several pages visible. There are a variety of texts and images across these pages:
On the left side, part of a page featuring an intricate woodcut or engraving of a figure amidst foliage is visible. The word "Crimson" can be seen at the top of the page, suggesting it may be a page from a publication by Harvard University, which uses crimson as its color.
On the right side, the visible page includes a newspaper or journal clipping with a headline that reads "Faculty of Arts and Sciences Lists Additional Half-Courses." Below the headline, there is an article with text that is partially readable, mentioning visiting professors. Just above the article, the publication date appears to be "Dec. 15, 27," likely meaning December 15 from the year 1927, based on the style of text and context.
Below the article, there is a black and white image of a building labeled "Pink Church, Cuautla, Mexico—Dennan W. Ross." This is a reproduction of a drawing or painting depicting a church with a distinctive bell tower and several figures in the foreground that appear to be pedestrians.
The right side of the image also shows a brief glimpse of another article with the title "Fogg Museum Acquires Spanish Capitals," which refers to some art acquisition, and below, there is mention of "Dated Romanesque Sculpture" and "María de Álbanz Arez."
The book appears aged, with yellowed pages, and it's held open by a transparent sheet or placeholder. The spine of the book has a red or maroon binding partially visible, with the rest of the cover extending off to the left, outside the frame of the photo.
The image is a photograph of an open book, specifically a scrapbook. The left page features various newspaper clippings, art prints, and articles that have been pasted onto the page. Notably, there is an article from the "Harvard Crimson" listing additional half-courses offered by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and another article discussing the Fogg Museum's acquisition of Spanish art from the Abbey of Maria de Albana.
