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 The series also contains three scrapbooks of miscellaneous unpublished creations by artists like painters Edmond Dyonnet, William Brymner and Robert Harris, author William McLennan, and author and scientist Thomas Joseph Workman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.
