After Whistler's death in 1903, his heir and sister-in-law, Miss 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. Whistler frequently painted, drew or etched shopfronts during his time in London, Paris and Dieppe. The subject of this transfer lithograph is Drury Lane, in the neighbourhood of Covent Garden, London. (See also GLAHA 49034/49231-49235/49553/49709-49712/49838).
