Julius Beerbohm (26 September 1854 – 21 April 1906) was a Victorian travel-writer, engineer and explorer.
He was the son of Julius Ewald Edward Beerbohm (1811–1892),[1] of Dutch, Lithuanian, and German origin, who had come to England in about 1830 and set up as a corn merchant.[1] He married an Englishwoman, Constantia Draper, and the couple had four children. Beerbohm's older brother was the actor-manager Herbert Beerbohm Tree; his sister was author Constance Beerbohm. A younger half-brother was the caricaturist and parodist Max Beerbohm.[1] His half-sister Agnes Mary Beerbohm (1865–1949), who became Mrs Ralph Neville in 1884, was a friend of the artist Walter Sickert and modelled for him in his 1906 painting Fancy Dress.[2] His nieces were Viola, Felicity and Iris Tree.
