An Artists' Soirée-A Sketch at the Hogarth Club, from "The Graphic," p. 489 May 24, 1873 William Harcourt Hooper Brewtnall, who designed this image, began his career drawing illustrations for "The Graphic," a popular London periodical. This wood-engraving shows members of Londons Hogarth Club, originally founded by former members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1858-61, then revived in the 1870s as alternate, semi-private exhibition space for those dissatisfied with how their works were hung at the Royal Academy. The club welcomed both artists and art-lovers, and James McNeill Whistler is shown standing to the right of the piano. Since many of the men hold pipes, the occasion must be a "Smoking Concert," a popular type of all-male Victorian social event. Works hung densely on the walls affirm the Clubs function as an exhibition space.. An Artists' Soirée-A Sketch at the Hogarth Club, from "The Graphic," p. 489 777712
