Description: | Unmounted s. in stone with a butterfly; c.l. CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT WAY, Thomas Robert; (English; 1861-1913) In September 1887, T. R. Way sent Whistler a block of transfer paper and some hard lithographic crayons, and the artist resumed his work in lithography after a hiatus of eight years. This sketch is of the entrance gate leading to the old priory church of St Bartholomew the Great: Whistler was particularly fond of the neighbourhood of St Bartholomews. Few proofs were pulled of "Entrance Gate". Way thought highly enough of this lithograph to ask Whistler's permission to use it as the frontispiece to his catalogue of the artist's lithographs, nevertheless, Whistler refused.
