Description: | Royal s. in plate; b.r. "Whistler" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) During 1861, Whistler returned to the Thames as a focus for a new series of etchings of the old bridges spanning the river which were being systematically replaced by new Victorian engineering innovations at that time. In these images Whistler achieved the tonal effects he desired by etching small lines side by side, rather than criss-crossed, to build up areas of shadow. The plate was published in 1871 by Ellis and Green as part of 'Sixteen Etchings of Scenes on the Thames and Other Subjects?. Impressions were also later available through The Fine Art Society and the artist himself.(See also GLAHA 46760).
This etching was presented to the University of Glasgow by Dr J. A. McCallum (1862-1948). | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | SAILING VESSEL : SUSPENSION BRIDGE : HUNGERFORD PIER : STEAMER : BARGES : PADDLESTEAMERS : THAMES SET : ROWING BOAT : ISAMBARD KINGDOM BRUNEL : PYLONS : CLIFTON : WHISTLER CENTENARY : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
