Introduction:

Very little is known about the Royal Saloon of Arts, apparently a gallery based in Gravesend in the mid 19th century. There are a number of references in 19th century directories of Gravesend. These tell us that the Saloon was apparently managed by a William Atkinson and W. Wilson. It seems to have only been in existence for around five years, dating from 1839-1844. One stencilled trade label referring to the Saloon is known, found on the back of a small number of contemporary cut pieces, by various artists. These mainly seem to be of average quality.
