The Athenceum Acquires a Major Painting by William Paxton
HE Boston Athen~um has recently acquired an exquisite late nineteenth-century painting by American artist William McGregor Paxton ( 1869- 1941). It is a portrait of Elizabeth Vaughan Okie, who met Paxton in about 1895 while they were both studying at the Cowles Art School in Boston. It was love at first sight-as clearly documented by the Athen~um's newest acquisi tion-and by the end of the century Paxton and Okie were married. \Villiam Paxton was born in Baltimore, t-.1aryland, in 1869, the only child of James Paxton and Rose Daughert}. His father, a nati\e of J\11assachusetts, had moved with his wife to Baltimore in search of work, but shortly after \Villiam was born they returned to Massachusetts, set tling in Newton, where James established a successful catering and confectionary business. After completing his early schooling in Newton, \1\filliam Paxton won a scholarship in 1887 to the Cowles Art School in Boston, where he was a student of Dennis Miller Bunker. Two years later he went to Paris, where he studied for four years at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts under the French academic master Jean-Leon Gerome. Back in Boston, PaAtOn resumed his tudies at the Cowles School, this time under Joseph R. DeCamp, and began life-long friendships with fello'' tudents Frank Be11son and Edmund Charles Tarbell. s, the end of the century, Paxton was making a reputation for himself a an accom plished portrait painter. His early career culminated in his first solo exhibition, held at the St. Botolph Club m \Villiam McGregor Paxton (1869-1941) Boston in 1900.

3 Exhibitions in the Library's The "Always Delightfully Cool" exhibition is free and open to the public and is sure to inspire many reminis Norma Jean Calderwood Gallery cences about New Englanders' favorite local vacation spots- and trips to classic vacation destinations close to home. ((Always Delightfully Cool,- Summer Vacations in Northern New England, 1825-1900
May 7, 2008 - August 22, 2008
This fascinating exhibition examines the early history of leisure travel and tourism in New England through advertising prints, photographs, maps, sheet music covers, and large-scale chromolithographs. Northern New England, with its varied landscape of beaches, mountains, and lakes, boasted many of the nation's most popular vacation sites, including Maine's Moosehead Lake and Mount Desert Island, the seaside resorts of the North and South Shores of Massachusetts, New Hamp shire's White Mountains, and the northern Vermont towns of Burlington and Stowe. Vacations were all but unknown to most Americans until the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Indeed, the word ((vacation" did not come into wide usage until 1850, but by 1900 vacations were a common event for many Americans and tourism had become a well-estab lished, lucrative industry. According to the exhibition's curator, Catharina Slautterback, ((Several complex and overlapping factors contributed to the development of the vacation as a mass phenomenon in nineteenth-cen tury America, including the rise of the middle class, new forms of transportation, and changing attitudes towards nature and leisure. Nineteenth-century advertisers, like their modern counterparts, created idealized images of the grand hotels, scenic landmarks, wilderness areas, and recre ational pastimes. Exuberant language, bright colors, and exotic scenes enticed would-be vacationers to these new holiday destinations which, according to one advertise ment, were ((always delightfully cool." The fifty-seven items in this exhibition are drawn primarily from the Boston Athenreum's rich and diverse collection of works of art on paper.

Publication News: America's Membership Libraries
Richard Wendorf, the Stanford Calderwood Director and Librarian, has edited a new collection of sixteen essays about America's membership libraries, including the Boston Athenceum. This hardcover volume, published by Oak Knoll Press, represents the first attempt to provide, through individual histories of the largest surviving mem bership libraries, a composite portrait of this important movement in American library history. Although they sport different names - society library, library society, mercantile library, mechanics' institute, athenceum - all of the institutions have played a significant role in the intellectual and cultural lives of their communities, which range from Boston, New York, and Charleston to Cincin nati, San Francisco, and La Jolla. Some continue to serve as the central library in their city, whereas others resemble large, independent research institutions.
