Synopsis

Step into the bohemian heart of Victorian London through the eyes of a painter who lived it.

This memoir blends art, travel, and salon culture as seen from the Savage Club, with sharp anecdotes, colorful characters, and firsthand behind-the-scenes moments. It centers on a famed London club and the artists, writers, and performers who made it legendary, offering a vivid window into late 19th-century social life.

• Discover the club’s traditions, rituals, and the witty, sometimes provocative, stories told over drinks and conversation.
• Meet renowned figures and early chapters of their public lives, captured through the author’s painter’s eye and personal recollections.
• Travel tales and portraits from Bombay, Hyderabad, and other journeys, illustrated by real-life encounters and scenes.
• Enjoy lively reminiscences about famous clubs, galleries, and the art world that framed this era.

Ideal for readers drawn to art history, literary circles, and humorous, human tales from the Victorian salon scene.
