John Parker, Sr

A Library The Boston Letter from Athenteum

No. 108 JUNE 1995

The Parkers of Parker Hill WO portraits of great artistic and historic importance, on extended loan to the Athenreum, have recently been given to the co1lvction by Suzannah C. Ames. Both are Parker family portraits, father and son: John Parker, Sr. (1757-1840), by Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828); and John Parker, Jr. (1783-1844), by Chester Harding ( 1792-1886). They are joined by a full-length silhouette of John Parker, Sr., "cut without his knowledge by Mr. Brown while at Providence in 1833," and presented by George Parker to his brother, John Parker, Jr., the subject of Harding's portrait; a fire bucket which belonged to still another brother, Peter Parker (1759-1832); and other material related to the family. Curator of Collections Michael Wentworth has provided Items with one of his customarily erudite pieces on the portraits, and we are also fortunate that Athenreum member Richard Heath, Executive Director of GreenS pace Alliance, and Jamaica Plain historian, has been willing to contribute some fascinating historical commentary about Parker Hill, na1ned for the Parker family whose two illustrious members are the subjects of the paintings. Gilbert Stuart took up permanent residence in Boston in 1805 after testing the waters of patronage in Washington and Philadelphia. Already the foremost portrait painter in America, he was armed with a fluid technique and a European reputation that made him irresistible to the nascent Brahmin society of the town, and commis­ sions rained down upon him. A dilatory approach to their execution can only have increased the desirability of his portraits, and if his approach was casual his tech­ nique was rapid, and for the next twenty-five years he filled the drawing rooms of Federal Boston with silkily flattering portraits which balanced equally as status symbols and works of art. Stuart's portrait of John Parker, Sr., must have been painted about 1810. It was GILBERT STUART (1755- 1828) John Parker, Sr. (1757-1840), c. 1810 Oil on panel, 29 1~ x 24 in. Gift of Suzannah C. Ames, 1995 CHESTER HARDING ( 1792-1886) John Parker, Jr. ( 1783-1844), c. 1830 Oil on panel, 30 x 24 in. Gift of Suzannah C. Ames, 199 5 4~ inherited by his daughter Elizabeth Parker (Mrs. William) Shimmin (1787-1872), and passed to her son Charles Franklin Shimmin (1821-1891) and then to his widow, who died in 1903. It became the property of Charles Shimmin's daughter Blanche Shimmin (1849-1912), who bequeathed it to John Harleston Parker (1872-1930), a grandson of the sitter, and to another John Harleston Parker (1907- 1968), passing to his widow, now Mrs. James Barr Ames. Like many of Stuart's Boston portraits, it was included in the great benefit memorial exhibition held at the Athenreum in 1828 for the painter's impoverished family, where it figured as number 202, John Parker, Esq. The success of Chester Harding in Boston duplicated that of Gilbert Stuart, who he replaced as the most fashionable portraitist in the town. Born in New Hampshire and beginning his career as an itinerant artist, his early training came from the intel­ ligent mimicry of more accomplished painters. Any deficiency in this educational system was soon corrected by two years in London, where he perfected his tech­ nique and gained a fashionable reputation in the bargain, finally having to refuse all but royal commissions in order to attend to his studies. Back in Boston in 1826, he succeeded to Stuart's position-a state of affairs the latter described with a glimmer of distaste as "Harding fever" -and his portraits acceded to the cachet enjoyed by Stuart's a generation earlier. His portrait of John Parker, Jr., can be dated on the evidence of the costume to about 1830. Although its provenance is not as clear as that for Stuart's portrait of John Parker, Sr., it may well be identical. The obvious artistic interest of the two portraits aside, they are works of great local interest. When Stuart painted John Parker, Sr., the sitter was a successful mer­ chant whose Federal mansion in Roxbury stood on the southern slope of what the Puritans had known as Great Hill, although his contemporaries had long since called it Parker Hill, as we do today. John Parker's great grandfather, Nathaniel Parker ( 1670-174 7), had come to Roxbury from Dedham (where the family had been established by the immigrant Samuel Parker in the 1630s) and two generations later the family came into possession of a large part of Great Hill in 17 52, through the marriage of his father, Peter Parker (1720-1765), to Sarah Ruggles (1732-1802), an heiress (the importance of whose family was memorialized, in a way, by a subway stop on the Orange Line), who brought her father's pasture land and orchards on Great Hill with her to the match. Peter Parker pressed his newly acquired apples for cider, which he sold in Roxbury town center, and prospered. Rising gently through designations in various legal documents as a yeoman or cordwainer to that of gentleman, he died possessed of an estate valued at nearly £750, which included a "Mansion House & Barn with 5 acres of land adjoining, the Mowing pasture & Orchard on the Great Hill, being 29 Acres, 3~ Acres of Salt Marsh, Six Acres of Woodland in Newton, [and] A Dwelling House & other Buildings with 4~ Acres of land in Brookline." His eldest son, the John Parker of the Stuart portrait, also began his career without undue fuss, as an apprentice baker opposite Roxbury First ~5 Church. He prospered as a food broker and at the time of his death in 1840 owned four stores on Long Wharf and three in State Street near India Wharf, as well as the land on Great Hill that had come to him from his parents. His son, the John Parker of the Harding portrait, made an advantageous marriage with Anna Sargent ( 1783- 1873), the daughter of Epes and Dorcas Sargent of Gloucester, but died childless when the estate passed to his brother. In 1873 one of John Parker, Sr.'s, grandsons granted the city of Boston four and a half acres for a reservoir on top of the hill; four years later Parker Hill Avenue was laid out through the estate, and in 1884, as the community around hitn changed rapidly into a factory district, his son, John Harleston Parker, the eldest grandson of John Parker and great-grandson of Peter and Sarah Ruggles Parker, sold what remained of the estate to developers. In 1912, as the city of Boston considered plans to build a public swimming pool on the site of the redundant reservoir, the trustees of the Robert Bent Brigham hospital acquired three acres of former Parker land ad­ joining the reservoir to erect a chronic disease hospital designed and built by Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge between 1912 and 1914. Other Parker land, on which the Parker mansion still stood, was sold to the city in 1925 by former governor Eugene N. Foss, who had acquired it on speculation in 1909. In 1931 plans were drawn up by the Boston City Parks Department for Parker Hill (now McLaughlin) playground on the site of the Ruggles apple orchard. Today the playground constitutes three of five artificially made terraces ascending up Parker Hill A venue from Parker Street. The fifth, owned by New England Baptist Hospital, still encompasses the panoramic view sweeping from the harbor islands to the Great Blue Hill. The early Parkers could hardly have predicted the changes made by the relentless hand of twentieth-century man, but the spectacular topography of the place would still bring them up short with a familiar delight in the unchanging beauty of the view.

Lina Coffey Joins the Front Desk Staff ... The new face at the Front Desk belongs to Lina Coffey, who will be assisting Jim Feeney in ministering to the reading needs of Athenreum readers and staff. Lina has been a member of the Athenreum for three years, and comes to the library from Boston University, where she worked in the Reference Department. Readers now have the distinct advantage of having an additional reference librarian on the first floor, in addition to the regular cre'vv on four, and also one who is familiar with most Athenreum peculiarities. Lina received her degree in library science from C.W. Post University on Long Island, and now makes her home in Brookline. Her reading interests are "eclectic" (in her own words), so if readers find themselves at a loss for what to read, she will be a perfect guide. 6~ ... While Eric Tourian Revisits the Confederate Collection Eric Tourian, who as a student intern from Northeastern University served the Athenreum at the Security Desk and in the Reference Department, has joined the staff to work on an ambitious project linked to the conversion of all library holdings to machine readable form. For many years Marjorie Lyle Crandall's Confederate imprints and Richard Harwell's supplement More Confederate imprints were the standard bibliographic reference sources for publications of the Confederacy. Now Crandall and Harwell have been superseded by Confederate Imprints: A Bibliogra­ phy of Southern Publications from Secession to Surrender, by T. Michael Parrish and Robert M. Willingham, Jr. Eric's project, and it is an important one, involves converting the call marks assigned to the Athenreum's considerable holdings of Confederate material from Crandall numbers to Parrish and Willingham numbers, a project that will enable the Cataloguing Department to enter the library's Con­ federate holdings directly into a master data base after the Athenreum collections are converted to machine readable form-a major project which began earlier this year. The Athenreum's collection is now the largest repository of Confederate ma­ terial in the United States, and Eric's project will be an invaluable bibliographic aid to researchers who wish to make use of it.

Conservation Staff Member Wins Major Art Award Nancy Coda of the Athenreum's Conservation Department was officially notified in May that she was one of four recipients of the Museum School's Fifth Year Travel­ ing Scholarship Award. Nancy, who uses the professional name n. noon coda, ac­ cepted the award for her untitled three-room installation piece (with sound). The Museum School's Fifth Year Program is for graduate level, resident independent study in studio art, and offers an opportunity for Diploma Program graduates to de­ velop a body of work with as few distractions as circumstances allow. The award was established in 1899. Nancy is not the first Athenreum award recipient; former Gallery Director Donald Kelley was a winner during the 1950s. For those who missed the winning exhibition, which closed on 1 May, the award work will be on display again in the Torf Gallery of the Museum of Fine Arts be­ ginning in mid-January, 1996.

Doris Kearns Goodwin Takes a Pulitzer In April, Athenreum Life Member Doris Kearns Goodwin was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in History for her extraordinary study No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II. Goodwin, whose projects have dealt with subjects r ~ nging from the Kennedys to baseball, has frequently made ~7 use of the Athenreum's fifth floor for her work. No Ordinary Time relates how Franklin Delano Roosevelt "coaxed an isolationist, Depression-ridden nation first into supplying arms to England and then into taking up arms itself." Goodwin also reveals details of the complex relationship between the President and his First Lady.

Robert Shlaer's Athena:um Group Daguerreotype A photographic process popular in the nineteenth century was duplicated at the Athenreum last October. Curator of Prints and Photographs Sally Pierce reports on the occasion: When Robert Shlaer, the world's only full-time professional daguerreotypist, accepted the Athenreum's invitation to give a lecture and demonstration of the daguerreotype process, he accepted not only a speaking engagement but an artistic challenge. As part of the agreement, Robert was to make a daguerreotype for the Athenreum to keep, and he had in mind the Southworth and Hawes daguerreotype of the second floor, taken in 1853. But he decided the fifth floor was actually a better situation for the photograph, and he decided to position the camera on the balcony and photograph the entire lecture audience "artistically disposed" along the length of the room. At about 11:00 on the morning of Saturday, 29 October 1994, an attentive and enthusiastic audience of over 100 persons made the trek to the top floor. Participants will recall the photographer's directions: lean or support yourself comfortably, choose a spot to focus on, breathe slowly. The chimes of Park Street Church rang as every­ one held still for a seemingly interminable ninety-second exposure. The pose was then changed, and a sixty-second exposure made. A total of four daguerreotypes were taken. The audience enjoyed a short break while Robert adjourned to the traveling daguerreotype saloon, parked across Beacon Street in the AllRight parking lot, to develop the plates by exposing them to mercury vapor. He then brought the plates back to the stage to be fixed and gilded. The results were more than satisfactory; the best exposures do full justice to the monumentality of the fifth floor architecture and render the sitters with gratifying clarity. Southworth and Hawes have been equalled, if not surpassed. Now that the daguerreotypes have been matted and glazed, participants and inter­ ested members will have an opportunity to view the group portraits taken that day last fall. All four exposures will be on display in the Print Room during May and June, and the Athenreum will retain the second exposure for its archives. Copy photo­ graphs of the daguerreotype may be ordered from the Print Room. To the sitters: When looking for your picture, remember that the daguerreotype is a reversed image, and to find yourself you will need to look on the side opposite to the one where you would expect to be. RoBERT SHLAER Lecture Audience, Boston Athenaum, Fifth Floor October 29, 1994. Half plate daguerreotype, 60 second exposure The Boston Map Society Head of Special Collections John Lannon and several other cartographically in­ clined members of the community have formed the Boston Map Society and invite new members. The Society was formed in 1994 to bring together people with an interest in collecting, studying, using, and preserving maps. Membership is open to everyone and includes map collectors, curators, dealers, and individuals with a gen­ eral interest in maps. The Society schedules regular meetings in the Boston area and programs are planned to include various topics related to cartography. For a membership application interested parties should contact David Cobb at the Harvard Map Collection ( 617-495-2417; e-mail: [email protected]). John Lannon is also willing and able to answer queries about the Society.

August Closing For those readers who have been lulled into the misapprehension that the Athe­ nreum would never again be closed in August, there are dark days ahead for you. However, the news is not all bad. We will be closed next August, but only for two weeks, between Monday, 21 August and Tuesday, 5 September (the day after Labor Day). During this period the staff will be performing a variety of housekeeping tasks, completing the Print Room and Locked Room inventories, and putting all books back in their proper positions on the shelves. As in previous Augusts, readers will be able to request books by mail, and the Reference Department will be available to answer queries that cannot wait on a return-call basis.

Gallery News The successful exhibition of material relating to the Society of the Cincinnati will close on 27 May, after which the Gallery will close for the months of June, July and August for much needed repairs and rewiring. However, Curator of Collections Michael Wentworth has provided an enticing look ahead at the first three exhibitions of 1995-1996. The season will open on 12 September with "Jewish Culture in Boston," an ex­ hibition co-curated by Athenreum Curator of Prints Sally Pierce and Ellen Smith, Curator of the American Jewish Historical Society. The exhibition will focus on the changing Jewish neighborhoods of Boston, and related events include a lecture by Stephen Whitfield on Jewish literary history, a concert of music set to Jewish texts, a bus tour of Jewish architectural Boston, and a panel discussion featuring the authors of the recently published book The Jews of Boston, Ellen Smith and Jonathan D. Sarna. In February 1996 the Gallery will feature the Athenreum's large collection of 10 ~ paintings by Cephas Thompson, and in April "New Images of an Old City" will pre­ sent contemporary artistic views of Boston, both abstract and realistic. There will be no lectures or musical events at the Athenreum during this summer.

Docent Training Scheduled for September Curator of Collections Michael Wentworth is sending out advance word that train­ ing sessions for new docents will begin again in the fall. We are very much in need of new additions to our docent group, whose principal responsibility is guiding tour groups through the paths of Athenreum history, architecture and art. If you are in­ terested, we need you! Don't wait until fall to respond; call the Athenreum and leave your name with Volunteer Director Liz Driscoll, and she will contact you (gratefully) when the exact dates for the training sessions have been settled.

Boston Baseball, 1871 Vintage The Red Sox have returned to Fenway, much to the relief of some die-hard Athe­ nreum fans, and we thought we might use the occasion to say a few words about a small pamphlet that is one of the gems of our Locked Room, A Record of the Boston Base Ball Club, With a Sketch of Alllts Players for 1871, '72, '73, and '74, by George Wright, Boston shortstop, published in Boston in 1874. This little book is chock full of tall tales, blow-by-blow descriptions of close games, and is a fascinating history of the first four years of the Boston Red Stockings, the advance guard of the modern day Red Sox. The gentle reader is first set straight about the difference between base­ ball and cricket: "The game of cricket is far too slow for us [Americans] . . . Cricket is an English game and dilatoriness is our national abhorrence. We eat, talk, work, and fight faster than John Bull does, and so we must also play." The Boston nine of 1871, in its first year of major league competition, included captain Harry Wright, center field; the aforementioned George Wright (the "head shortstop of the coun­ try"); Charles Gould, first base ("a plucky fielder of hotly thrown or batted balls"); and Albert G. Spalding, pitcher (who "has a peculiar way of delivering the ball to the batter suddenly, calculated to deceive"). This first season the Boston club had a record of 29 wins and 12 defeats, and scored 554 runs. The next season, that of 1872, they won the Whip pennant, but 1872 was also the year of the Boston Fire, and so the prospects for fielding a team in 1873 were in doubt. But the team pulled together and won the national championship for 1873, which prompted the New York Clipper to write: "Boston will rest easier hereafter; her victorious Reds have won the baseball championship. The champion­ ship question bas caused more disputes, more cuss words, more wickedness than it has entered into the heart of man to conceive. From one section of the country to the other the watchword has been, 'Who's got it?' Yea, from the Boston Common to ~ 11 the Sierra Nevada the one great inquiry has been, 'Who's got it?' But the great prob­ lem was solved at last, and Boston is 'it.' What cares she for her great fire now? Of what avail is her liquor law? The Boston boys have squelched the Grey Stockings of the Quaker City, and made all New York hide her diminished head; yea, even Lord Baltimore has been compelled to take a back seat. All hail, Boston! All hail her noble Red men, whose honesty of purpose and strict sense of right and justice against the most alluring temptations have enabled them to win and wear the laurels for another term!" Is 1995 the year we will finally hear these words again? You saw it first in Athe­ nreum Items.
