Description: | Unmounted s. in stone with a butterfly; c.l. beneath the bridge CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT WAY, Thomas Robert; (English; 1861-1913) PUB Boussod, Valadon & Co. This is the second state of this lithograph. Published Edition: One hundred impressions of "Old Battersea Bridge" were issued in 'Notes' portfolios. 'Notes' impressions were printed on cream Japanese paper (large sets) or grayish ivory proofing paper (small sets), mounted on white plate paper, which as often discoloured to off-white or ivory. (See also GLAHA 46595-46598/ 46600/ 49024/ 49271/ 49629/ 49834/ 49867). Whistler drew this view of "Old Battersea Bridge" directly on the stone, apparently as he sat in a boat on the Thames at high tide. Several pedestrians on the bridge have paused to look down at the artist at work.
