Information

Founded in 1858, the Hogarth Club was an exhibiting society and social club promoting Pre-Raphaelite art. The porter is holding a bottle and cockscrew which, as suggested by Bronkhurst, suggests that Hunt must have attended some of the social gatherings.

  • Presented by John H Cattell, 1920.
