(6) Watermark; The Arms of Strasbourg CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) Whistler's interest in the wooden bridge as a subject for his etchings may well have been linked to his desire to preserve a record of these structures that were systematically being replaced with new feats of Victorian engineering. This is the fourth state of this work. In its final state it was published by The Fine Art Society in 1879.
