Boston Library Society Will be Feted HOSE attending annual n1ectiugs of the Athenreun1 proprietors have grown accuston1ed to a traditional pause in the discu~sion of Athcna!Ulll n1atters to attend to a pocket of activity pertaining to the Boston Library Society. l 'his break nonnally lasts about ten n1inutcs-offi.cers are elected, n1inutes are approved­ after which attention returns to Athen~um business with n1on1entun1 barely broken. 1''his unusual n1ecting within a n1ecting rc11ects an association \Vhich began in 1Y39 when the older (by thirteen years) Library Society succun1bed to financial tribula­ tions and can1e to rest under the wing of its younger-and more successful-sister at 1OY2 Beacon Street. But the Library Soctcty had an illustrious life of its own, and its n1en1bers included son1e of the elite politicians, writers, n1erchants, and artists of Federal Boston. In this bicentennial year of its birth, we arc con1n1en1orating the So­ ciety·s prestigious position in the history of the intellectual life of the fledgling United States with an exhibition and publication that \vill place the Society firmly in the 1innatncnt of institutions that shaped Boston's cultural history. The exhibition will open on Monday, 13 February, and run through 1 April. Most Athenxun1 readers have the vague but accurate idea that the Boston Library Society is no\v in son1c \vay a part of the Athenreum, but they are sketchy on the ho\vS and \vhys ol it all. "']he Boston Library Society, 1794-1994," an exhibition curated by Michael \Vcnt\vorth featuring portraits, views, and n1aterials related to the founda­ tion of the Society and so1ne of its early members, will answer a host of questions and provide a re\\'arding glitnpse into Federal Boston in the bargain. The Athenccum collections arc rich in 1naterial related to the Boston Library Society and its founders, and the library's holdings have been augn1ented for the exhibition \Vith distinguished loans frotn a nun1bcr of public and private collections in Ne\v England. Lenders to the exhibition include the Muscun1 of Fine Arts, \Vith Gilbert Stuart's portrait of Sarah \Vent\YOrth Morton and Henry Sargent's Tea Party in the Tontine Crescent; the Harvard University Portrait Collection's portrait of Charles Bulfinch by Mather 2~ Brown; the Bowdoin College Museum of Art's anonymous continental portrait of James Bowdoin Ill; views of Boston and the Tontine Crescent from the Bostonian Society; and Jane Stuart's portrait of Paul Revere from the Boston Grand Lodge of Masons. Material from the archives of the Boston Library Society related to the founding of the Society and rare books related to the literary efforts of the founders of the Athenreum collection will give scope and dimension to the works of art. Mr. Wentworth has prepared a commemorative catalogue with an essay which traces the history of the Society and includes notes on the colorful lives and foibles of its early members. The text is illustrated with portraits of Society founders and members such as Charles Bulfinch and Sarah Morton, and views of the city of Boston during the early nineteenth century. There will be a Boston Library Society concert on Thursday, 23 March, at which we will welcome back mezzo soprano Pamela Dellal and baroque guitarist Olaf Chris Henricksen, who will be joined by viola da gambist Carol Lewis. They will perform music that could have been heard in Boston around 1800, as it might have been per­ formed at home, including contemporary popular pieces-by Haydn and Arne-and "historical" pieces-by Corelli and Purcell. Included will be a performance of Hans Gram's song, "Death of an Indian Chief," based on Sarah Morton's Ouabi, the music for which was published in the Massachusetts Magazine in 1791, and is included in the exhibition. For details of this concert, see the section on events "In the Gallery."

"50 Books" Wins Prestigious Award In December we received the happy news that 50 Books in the Collection of the Boston A thence urn, published by the Athenreum in February 1994 to accompany the exhibition "50 Illustrated Masterpieces from the Collection of the Boston Athe­ nreum," had received an award from the Bookbuilders of Boston and the 1994 New England Book Show Committee. 50 Books, prepared under the general editorship of Michael Wentworth, was designed by Howard Gralla of New Haven, Connecticut, and printed at the Stinehour Press in Lunenburg, Vermont. The Bookbuilders of Boston, an organization which a\vards prizes each year for outstanding design and production of books from New England publishers, previously acknowledged an­ other Athenreum publication, Conger Metcalf: A Retrospective, in 1990.

The Book Arts of Takejiro Hasegawa at the Peabody Essex Museum Although there is usually little extra space in Ite;ns for announcements from other area institutions, the exhibition of the work of Japanese book artist Takejiro Hase­ gawa, "Japanese Pictures of Japanese Life," which opens at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem on 26 January, should interest Athenccum readers. Hasegavva flourished during the Meiji Restoration, and specialized in the publication of classic Japanese wood block illustrations-specially designed for him by Tokyo artists­ in crepe paper volumes. The museum holds nearly 200 examples of Hasegawa's work, and many of them will be on display. An opening reception will be held on 9 February from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., and the exhibition's benefactor, Frederic A. Sharf, will speak about the artist in the gallery on 9 March at noon. The exhibition will run through 15 May; those who are interested in more information should call (508) 745-9500.

35 and Younger Reading Group Announces Winter Schedule The Monday evening reading group for younger members will host novelist Susan Power on 9 January. Regular members and any interested Associate Members are welcome to attend. Power is a metnber of the Standing Rock tribe and a native Chi­ cagoan; her debut novel, The Grass Dancer ( 1994), was very well received. The group meets on the first Monday evening of each month (January's meeting is on the 9th, however). In February the group will discuss Allen Kurzweil's first novel, A Case of Curiosities, and in March the group will read The Music Room, by Dennis Mc- Farland. uLucky Little Oysters"-A Boston Tradition Culinary historian and gourmet cook Dick Mieli, energetic leader of the Athenreum culinary group that meets on Monday nights, has provided Items with this delightful view of the landmark Union Oyster House, and a brief history of oysters in Boston. This winter issue seemed an appropriate moment to whet our readers' appetites.

According to tradition, wealthy Bostonian Peter Bent Brigham, remembered today principally for the hospital that bears his name, was the first person to sell cooked oys­ ters in the city, in his Concert Hall establishment, which he established in 1828 on the corner of Court Street and Hanover Street in the North End. Brigham had come down to Boston from Vermont, and actually entered the oyster business as an oyster peddler, selling his raw bivalves in the streets from a wheelbarrow. In the early nine­ teenth century, oysters were commonly sold from wheelbarrows, a practice that was the forerunner of the oyster houses that evolved in the 1820s. Oystermen usually ap­ peared in the evening with their barrows full, crying, "Oys! Fine oys!", came to the doors of houses carrying their heavy saddle bags full of shells, and shucked them at the door, if the purchaser wished, or even sometimes spread their damp bags on a car­ pet in the parlor, if the weather vvas inclement. The oyster house first appeared in the early years of the nineteenth century, and soon became a favored gathering place for the elite of the period. They served-much as the coffee houses of London-as places to gather and dispute, and one could go [Mr. Mieli quotes here from the journal Oysterman and Fisherman of February 1916]: " ... and devour the bivalves fresh from the shell over the counter or sit at a table and ' have them served in any of the various ways oysters are cooked, from a plain stew to a fancy roast." The oyster house was a conspicuous part of Boston's social life until around 1890, and the city boasted some of the finest in the country. One of them, the Union Oyster «497 House, is stiJI open at its original sit in Union Street in the Hayrnarket arl:a. in a sec­ tion known as the Blackstone Block. Built in 1826. it i th olde t re taurant in con­ tinuous operation in the United States. In 191 6, on nin ty-y ar old forn1er 1 at ron r - called its early days: ''I well rcn1en1ber the n1en I have ecn catino0 th ir oy·tl::r• ovtr this bar or in one of the stalls dovln the side of the roon1 th n~. I have often ~e en [Daniel] Webster eating his oysters here and \Va -- hing them do\vn \vith a great gla ,. ~ of brandy. Brandy was the gentlen1en s drink in thOSt; days ... In here and in .. oinc f the other places of this sort \VC used to set:: the pron1inent n1en of the city ~ nd state and of the country when they hJppened to be in tO\VD con1ing here for their drink and to have a chance to discuss public n1atters over a dish of oy -- ters · [Oystennan and Fisherrnan, February 1916]. This gentleman's description of the interior of the Union Oyster House serves very well to describe it today. The U-sh<.1ped counter is the same one that \Va installed in 1826, and be:hind the counter the staff shuck the oy .., ters as their predece sors did. Several stalls, numbered \vith brass plates, line the sides of th~; roon1; the doors that the stalls once had have been removed. Oddly, the Boston Directory. \vhich began to list restaurants in 1846, classified the Union Oyster He use as an ~·oyster business'' under the name Atwood and Bacon until 1916, at \Vhich date it assumed its pre ent nan1e. Even then, however, it was still not clac;sified as a restaurant~ even though Peter Bent Brigham's establishment was listed in the 1856 Directory under both ''Oysters'· and '\Restaurants." The oyster trade appears to have reached its peak in 1856 \Vhen seventy-seven establishments were listed under "Oysters" in the Boston Directory. By 1916, however, only fourteen oyster dealers remained. The oyster trade remains a viable source of public dining in many parts of the United States. At New York's Grand Central Station, the Oyster Bar hac; bcc:n serving fresh oysters, Monday to Friday, since 1913. New Orleans has several oyster houc;es: the Acme Oyster House, in Iberville Street, is open all yeac while Casamento's a small neighborhood place that specializes in oysters in Magazine Street in the Upto\vn area, is open only during the oyster season, from September to May. And on Saturday afternoons in Boston, it is still posc;; ible in the Hayn1arket to purchac;;e oysters from a n1an who shucks them from a cart in the street, in the san1e district \vhere o rstermen of the early 1800s peddled their \vares. A five minute \Valk fron1 the ~treet vendor is the Union Oyster House, still operating its oyster bar ac;; it has done c;;ince 1826.
