This object is part of Schaaf no. 1194

The Athenaeum Club, London

Location: London

A view of the Athenaeum Club on the corner of Pall Mall and Waterloo Place in London. Built in the Greek Revival style, the architect was Decimus Burton (1800-1881). Completed in 1830, members tended to be mainly scientists. As such it may have been of particular significance to Talbot.
