Step back into the golden age of academic art history with this rare, custom-curated portfolio box produced by The University Prints of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Before the era of digital slide shows, these meticulous black-and-white plates were the premier tool used by elite art institutions to teach visual analysis.
This specific set was custom-compiled for the "Museum School History IIb" curriculum—almost certainly referencing the historic School of the Museum of Fine Arts (SMFA) in Boston. Adding to its authentic vintage character, the top features a piece of aged masking tape with the handwritten name of a previous student owner ("Thomas L. Brown / Graphics II").
