(2) Brown collector's mark of Thomas R. Way v. "T.R.W"
(3) inscr.; v. "A75937" PRINT WAY, Thomas Robert; (English; 1861-1913) CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) In mid-October, 1894, Whistler wrote to Thomas Way to tell him to expect some new lithographic drawings of draped figures for printing. However, upon sending this image to Way, Whistler warned him in his accompanying letter that the model was "rather a poor one" and that in light of this he wasn't sure how well the lithograph would turn out. On receiving the first proofs, Whistler told Way to print no more until he had made some corrections. However, this was never done and eventually Whistler ordered the stone to be erased. This lithograph was printed by Thomas Way in 1896.
