A Luncheon-Table at the Reform Club: Mr. James Payn and four of his friends, 1898. 'Drawn from Life by T. Walter Wilson, R.I. We regret to announce that Mr. James Payn died at his residence, Warrington Crescent, Maida Vale, on Friday evening, March 25. His loss to literature and to good-comradeship has already been commemorated in the daily press by many pens, but to readers of this Journal his death comes with peculiar sadness, and will prove to hundreds and thousands who have never met him face to face a source of the deepest sorrow. He has charmed them by his unflagging humour, by his pleasant wit, by his boundless fund of good anecdote. Among our readers he made no enemies, but hosts of friends; among his brother authors he was universally beloved.' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
