A column of theater advertisements from a Boston newspaper sets this picture apart from the bottles, glasses, and barrels that usually fill a drinks collection. Notices like these were a staple of 19th-century papers, where playhouses, concert halls, and lecture rooms competed for readers with bold type and promises of popular performers. Boston was a busy theater town by then, and the Boston Museum, which opened in the 1840s, was among its best-known houses. Reading the column today gives a quick view of what city audiences could choose from for an evening out and how the paper sold each option.
