CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This image was drawn by Whistler in 1879 and reworked in 1887 for publication by Valadon Boussod and Co. in the 'Notes' portfolio. It was printed by Thomas Way in 1887. (See also GLAHA 49021/49022/49274/49686/49687). Published Edition: One hundred impressions of "Gaiety Stage Door" were issued in 'Notes' portfolios. 'Notes' impresssions were printed on cream Japanese paper (large sets) or grayish ivory proofing paper (small sets), mounted on white plate paper, which has often discoloured to off-white or ivory. "Gaiety Stage Door" and "Victoria Club" (Chicago 15 / Way 11, GLAHA 46598/49022/49023/49272/49273), drawn from the windows of Way's printing offices on Wellington Street, were probably Whistler's second and third transfer lithographs, respectively.
