Secretaries
A George Browning (1812-78) was the Honorary Secretary in 1873&4
[1][2][3][4]
E. P. Loftus Brock, F.S.A. (1832-95), was the Honorary Secretary in 1889
[5][6]
According to
this, the first president was the
Earl of Carlisle, followed by the
Earl of Ellesmere in 1859 (the year Carlisle returned to the post of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland). Ellesmere died in 1862, so that would be the year the third president arrived.
The entry in Who's Who (2010) for
George Charles Haité says he was "Vice-Pres. and Member of Council since 1881".
A meeting at Mansion-House in 1863 to award prizes in covered in an article in The Times; and the article says the society had upwards of 300 members (lots of names mentioned as well): The Times, Thursday, May 28, 1863; pg. 11; Issue 24570; col D
Henry TideyODNB was another Vice-President, whose death is mentioned; the article also says that the
Duke of Manchester was President of the Society: The Times, Friday, Jan 24, 1873; pg. 12; Issue 27595; col D
Reached its 19th year and had 400 members: The Times, Friday, Jul 13, 1877; pg. 9; Issue 28993; col F
Description of a big do here (the
Lord Mayor of London was vice-president): The Times, Wednesday, Mar 01, 1882; pg. 6; Issue 30443; col G
Lecture by
Robert W. EdisODNB described here: The Times, Friday, Jan 26, 1883; pg. 10; Issue 30727; col C
A meeting of the Society is described here: The Times, Saturday, Apr 28, 1888; pg. 6; Issue 32372; col G
Silver medals of 1902 awarded to Mabel C. Moore and
Winifred Christie: The Times, Saturday, Jul 26, 1902; pg. 14; Issue 36830; col C
Sometimes need to search for variants such as "Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts" or "Society for Encouragement of Fine Arts". But the references in The Times peter out in about 1903, as the reference from 1924 is an obituary of Haité.
