$a The work is an account of the building by which Charles Barry introduced into London not an attempt to draw directly on ancient Roman or Greek styles but to follow the example of Italian 16th-century adaptations of the classical tradition. His designs for the Travellers' Club in Pall Mall (submitted in 1828) have been thought to echo those of Raphael's Palazzo Pandolfini in Florence (ca. 1520). In introducing this 'Renaissance Revival' Barry was following the lead of Percier and Fontaine and J.C. Bonnard in Paris and Leo von Klenze in Munich. In the same tradition were his Reform Club (1841) and Bridgwater House (1851). The style was widely taken up, not only in Europe but throughout the British Empire and in north America. The plates show: 1, 2. The Travellers' Club House Ground Plan, Principal Plan; 3, 4. Elevation Of The Front, Of The Back Front; 5, 6. Longitudinal Sections; 7, 8. Details Of Principal Front; 9. Details Of Rear Front; 10. Details Of Drawing Room. The text of 'The Travellers' Club', by S.W. Singer, includes a brief account of the formation of the club, its rules, its committee in 1839 and a list of its members. |
