(3) stamp; v. square stamp of Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip PRINT WAY, Thomas Robert; (English; 1861-1913) CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This lithograph was printed by Thomas Way in 1896. In the early 1890s, Whistler produced a series of pastels, watercolours, drawings, etchings and lithographs of lightly draped models posing with a young child. He made five variations of the theme and assigned them, and some of his variations in other media, the title "Mother and Child". The subjects of this group of works were probably one or more of the three Pettigrew sisters, favourite models of Whistler's, and their young niece. (See also GLAHA 49127/49446/49616).
