Description: | Royal inscr. in pencil; below plate "K 136 / Swinburne K136 / W110" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This impression is printed from the cancelled plate. On this plate Whistler originally etched a portrait of F.R.Leyland, but following his quarrel with Leyland, altered it in the second state so that it became Swinburne. He then cancelled it with a roulette. The etching plate for this work is also in the Hunterian collection (GLAHA 50533). (See also GLAHA 49997/ 50532).
