Series
This series
documents the artistic and literary contributions of Pen and Pencil Club
members, from its founding to its dissolution in 1966. Literary texts, sheet
music, illustrated menus produced for the club's meals, and several drawings
and watercolours that may be associated with creating these menus make up the
bulk of the content. The series also contains three scrapbooks of miscellaneous
unpublished creations by artists like painters Edmond Dyonnet, William Brymner
and Robert Harris, author William McLennan, and author and scientist Thomas
Joseph Workman Burgess. Comprised of drawings, watercolours, essays, poems and
prose writings, these collections cover the club's initial period of existence,
from 1890 to 1896.
