Arrangements for the establishment of The Travellers Club were finalised at a meeting in the spring of 1819, attended by distinguished diplomats, travellers and two future Prime Ministers (the Earl of Aberdeen and Viscount Palmerston). The head of Ulysses was adopted as the Club device and the doors opened to members on 18 August 1819 at 12 Waterloo Place. The Club’s original premises soon proved unsatisfactory and in 1822 the Travellers moved to a house in Pall Mall opposite the Oxford & Cambridge Club – only to move again a decade later to the present Clubhouse at 106 Pall Mall.

Cirque Ambulant [in pencil].
A Brouet [in pencil]
[n.d. c.1920]
Etching signed by the artist, Artist embossed stamp; 215 x 265mm (8½ x 10½"), with margins. Left bottom margin corner missing. Some light creasing in margins.
A woodland scene; members of the travelling circus relax next to their caravan. The son of poor parents, Auguste Brouet (1872 - 1941), worked his own way through night drawing classes, and then the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He lived in poverty as an art student, but became well known to collectors due to the sincerity of his portryals of the street-peddlers, gypsies, street-musicians, beggars, and rag pickers, whom he would depict in the passages and places where they congregated. He became enthralled by the singers, dancers, and circus life of Paris. Having lived the in the poverty of those he was portraying, Brouet's work conveys a sensitivity and sympathy for his subjects uncommon amongst his contemporaries. Not only is he acclaimed as one of Paris's most important etchers, he has also etched approximately 20 plates of World War I, acclaimed not only for their historical accuracy and reliabilty, but for intense artistic quality.

Travelling. Plate V.
[Robert Seymour]
London. Published by Thomas M.cLean. 26. Haymarket. July 1.st 1829.
Fine hand-coloured etching, 250 x 350mm (10 x 13¾"), with large margins. Holes in left margin where previously bound.
A series of short scenes follows Pickle’s misadventures in France: He first arrives in Paris by stagecoach through the Gate of St Denis, amid the bustle of city life. The heavy coach rumbles over cobblestones, pulled by six horses as children scramble for tossed coins and street vendors ply their trade, a limonadier serves drinks, a man entertains with dancing dolls, and a boy plays on a set of bells. Later, Pickle is shaved by a charming female barber in his lodgings, followed by a visit to a street barber who proudly displays a freshly trimmed dog beside his sign boasting that his wife has gone to town. Dining at a restaurant, Pickle encounters two overly polite French gentlemen who flatter him with exaggerated manners. When he joins them, they end up taking him to the Palais Royal, where all three are suddenly arrested by the police. Soon after, Pickle is expelled from France within forty-eight hours for keeping suspicious company. A jailor boots him out of the gate toward the sea and the cliffs of Dover. In the final scene, a rain-soaked night brings misfortune, his carriage overturns, his horse collapses, and the furious driver blames Pickle for bringing bad luck and ruin.

[Ernest Edwin Abbott.]
[n.d. c.1930.]
Etching. 234 x 191mm. 9¼ x 7½".
Ernest Edwin Abbott (1899-1973) was born in Bideford, Devon. In 1911 he left alone as an ironmonger for Western Australia. In 1913 he married Florence Radcliffe Olde, collar worker, also from Bideford. According to the Electoral Rolls of 1919 and 1924 for Kooyong, Victoria, a subdivision of Kew, he was described as an artist. They finally moved to Melbourne where he later died, three years after his wife. He was mainly self-taught. Abbott was a craftsman so had studios and made his own engraving tools and printed his images on a flat-plate press. He is best known for italglio prints, watercolours and some oils. In 1920 having moved to Melbourne he took a studio in Oxford Chambers, but after about a decade he gave up his city studio to focus on printmaking at his home, particularly dry-point etching. His work focused around Egyptian, Australian and English scenery. Abbott is not known to have exhibited during his lifetime, although a retrospective exhibition was held in 1993.
