The
Etching Club of London was formed in 1838 and helped to foster
the appreciation of contemporary painters' etchings at a time
when prints were done as a means for reproducing art works. Membership
of the Etching Club included well-regarded artists such as William
Holman Hunt and Samuel Palmer, and published ten volumes of original
etchings, many of which illustrated literary works. The Club
closed in 1885. (Ref: Philadelphia Museum of Art).
