Description: | Royal (1) s. in stone with butterfly; b.c.
(2) stamp; v. square stamp of Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip PRINT WAY, Thomas Robert; (English; 1861-1913) CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) During July, 1894, Whistler initiated a series of images drawn in the garden behind his house at 110, rue du Bac. However, he was unhappy with the proof of "The Garden Porch" and ordered Way to destroy the stone. Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip identified the two central figures in the doorway as her sisters, Beatrix and Ethel. The third figure may be the young Rosalind herself, or possibly a servant. This lithograph was printed by Thomas Way in 1894. (See also GLAHA 49183 - 49186).
