Membership
In 1920 the membership was expanded to allow artists who produced prints from media other than metal, which allowed the election of woodcut artists such as Gwen Raverat. Another innovation in the same year was the formation of a Print Collectors' Club to be limited to 300 members each of whom received an annual presentation print.
Full fellows were entitled to use the initials R.E. after their name and associates, a class of membership established in 1887, could use the initials A.R.E.
Notable members (and their date of election to a full fellowship) included: William Strang (1881), Joseph Pennell (1882), Auguste Rodin (1882), Herbert Dicksee (1885), Walter Sickert (1887), Sir David Young Cameron (1895), Sir Frank Brangwyn (1903), Eugène Béjot (1908), Ernest Stephen Lumsden (1915), William Walcot (1920), Edmund Blampied (1921), Gerald Brockhurst (1921), Robert Austin (1927) Laura Knight (1932), Charles Tunnicliffe (1934), Sir William Russell Flint (1933), and Joan Hassall (1948), Anna Airy (1908), Eli Marsden Wilson (?).
Its address is: Bankside Gallery, 48 Hopton Street, London, SE1 9JH, England.

Famous quotes containing the word membership:
“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
