EDITORS COMMENTS
This sectional drawing offers a captivating glimpse into the grandeur and sophistication of The Empress Club, a remarkable Ladies' establishment located between Dover Street and 13 Berkeley Street in the heart of London's West End, circa 1904. Founded in 1897, The Empress Club was one of the earliest Ladies' clubs in the city and covered an impressive quarter of an acre. The palatial building was a testament to opulence, featuring two exquisitely decorated drawing rooms - one in the Louis Quinze style and the other in the Venetian style - a dining room, a lounge, a smoking gallery, a smoking room, a library, a writing room, a tape machine for news, a telephone, and a stunning staircase adorned with stained glass windows depicting Shakespeare's heroines. On the night of the 1901 census, Otho Oliver, the owner and club secretary, resided on the premises, along with a female manager and a large domestic staff of approximately 40 female and 12 male servants, including an engineer. The club accommodated around 30 women guests and several family groups, including husbands. At its peak, The Empress Club boasted 70 bedrooms for its 2,700 members. This sectional drawing invites us to imagine the elegance and refinement of a bygone era, where women could gather in a luxurious and welcoming environment, away from the bustling streets of London.
