@the.ganymede: * This reel draws on material from Seth Thévoz's article 'Max Beerbohm's Clubland Types' on the Clubland Substack: https://clubland.substack.com/p/max-beerbohms-clubland-types-cartoons * A dandy Guards officer. A scruffy Liberal. A faceless aristocrat. Long before Instagram decided what “type” drinks negronis at which club, Max Beerbohm was sketching his own Clubland stereotypes for The Strand Magazine in 1892 - affectionate, wicked little caricatures of the Athenæum boffin, the Brooks’s grandee, the Guards officer, the White’s aristocrat and more. This reel is a short walk through those drawings and what they say about how late‑Victorian London saw its clubs - and how much of that still feels familiar. *All photos sourced from archives of the Strand Magazine, which are in the public domain.* #London #PrivateMembersClub #PallMall #Wodehouse #GreekMythology #Ganymede
