Description:
The Melbourne Club situated at 36 Collins Street, Melbourne was founded by young squatters (sheep farmers) in 1839 and moved to this London-style clubhouse designed by Leonard Terry in 1858. The Club at first looked down on the gold generation (‘the wealthy unwashed’), but quietly welcomed many of them in later years.
Biography:
Arthur Willmore (1814–1888)
Wilmore was born at Birmingham on 6 June 1814, brother of James Tibbitts Willmore, by whom he was trained. He became an engraver, excelling chiefly in landscape work. He was extensively employed and executed many plates for the ‘Art Journal’ from pictures by Collins, Cooke, Creswick, Rubens, Stanfield, Turner, Van Dyck, and others. His most important work was ‘The Return of the Lifeboat,’ after E. Duncan, engraved for the Art Union, 1878. Willmore frequently exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1858 and 1885.
He died on 3 Nov. 1888.
