Description: | Royal (1) s. in stone with a butterfly; c.l.
(2) stamp; v. square stamp of Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip PRINT WAY, Thomas Robert; (English; 1861-1913) CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) In September 1887, T. R. Way sent Whistler a block of transfer paper and some hard lithographic crayons, and the artist resumed his work in lithography after a hiatus of eight years. This sketch is of the entrance gate leading to the old priory church of St Bartholomew the Great: Whistler was particularly fond of the neighbourhood of St Bartholomews. Few proofs were pulled of "Entrance Gate". Although Way thought highly enough of this lithograph to ask Whistler's permission to use it as the frontispiece to his catalogue of the artists lithographs, Whistler refused.
