Description: | Royal s. in stone with butterfly; u.c. CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT GOULDING, Frederick (English; 1842-1909) This is a posthumous printing. After Whistler's death in 1903, his heir and sister in law, Rosalind Birnie Philip, commissioned the London printer, Frederick Goulding, to print posthumous editions of many of Whistler's lithographs. Between October 1903 and May 1904, Goulding pulled impressions from 94 stones and transferred and printed 10 previously untransferred lithographic drawings. This picturesque image of a busy market was drawn during a trip made by Whistler and his wife, Beatrix, during July and August 1893. Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip believes this view to be of Paimpol and not, as the title suggests, Vitre. (See also GLAHA 49305/49306/49568/49734 - 49738/49840 - 49843/50240/50241).
