Description: | Royal (1) s. in stone; b.l. "Whistler"
(2) inscr. in stone; b.l. "1855"
(3) inscr. beneath image "Engaged man sings . . . "Dearest wilt thou then as now?" " CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) The function of this early lithograph is not known; it may have been intended as a book illustration, or the title (which is inscribed on the stone) may refer to a popular song or poem of the day. This is a second state lithograph. Most of the lines around the circumference of the image have been removed from the stone and the curtain at the right has been darkened by additional lines. The lithograph was acquired by exchange by the University of Glasgow from the William Weston Gallery in 1974. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | GENRE : LOVERS : BASKET : SMOKE : WHISTLER CENTENARY : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
