EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of The Reform Club, located in Pall Mall, London. Taken by George Moore in 1947, it showcases the exterior of this prestigious private members club that was founded in 1836. The building's magnificent architecture and vibrant colors stand out against the backdrop of a bustling city. The Reform Club holds significant historical importance as it was the first gentlemen's club to embrace gender equality. In 1981, it made headlines by changing its rules to admit women on equal terms, breaking barriers and setting an example for other clubs to follow. The photograph is featured in Bernard Darwin's book "British Clubs" published by Collins in 1947. This image offers a glimpse into the social history of Britain during the mid-20th century and highlights how institutions like The Reform Club played a role in shaping societal norms. Sir Charles Barry, renowned architect behind iconic structures such as the Houses of Parliament, designed this remarkable building. His expertise is evident through his attention to detail and timeless design elements. As we admire this watercolor landscape captured by George Moore, we are reminded of London's rich history and architectural heritage. The Reform Club stands proudly as a symbol of progressiveness within British society while maintaining its air of exclusivity and privacy that has attracted distinguished individuals throughout its existence.
