The New Baxter Society was formed in 1983, following a very successful exhibition of Baxter's work at Reading Museum and Art Gallery. Our objectives are to further interest in the work of George Baxter, his Licensees and Nineteenth-Century Colour Printing. We now have approximately 150 members throughout the World.
Members' articles and illustrations are included in
the three 8-page Newsletters circulated each year and a Members'
Meeting is arranged annually, which may take the form of a
lecture, an exhibition or a visit to view one of the Baxter
Collections.
The 1997 Members' Meeting was a visit to New Hall (formally the home of the Owen family and now The New Hall Hotel) to view part of the collection of Mr A E Owen who built up one of the first complete collections of Baxter prints and was elected president of the Second Baxter Society in 1926. This meeting inspired the New Baxter Society to stage its own annual exhibitions reminiscent of the work of the earlier societies. Other events have included visits to the Baxter Collections at Reading Museum, Maidstone Museum which houses the collection presented by Lady Bearsted in 1919 and the Victoria & Albert Museum Print Room.
