Description: | Unmounted (1) s. in stone with butterfly; b.l. (2) s. in pencil below chine colle with a butterfly; l. PRINT WAY, Thomas Robert; (English; 1861-1913) CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This image was drawn by Whistler in 1879 and reworked for publication by Valadon Boussod and Co. in the 'Notes' portfolio. The lithograph was printed by Thomas Way in 1878. (See also GLAHA 49022/49023/49272/46598). This lithograph was one of one hundred impressions of "Victoria Club" published and issued in 'Notes' portfolios. 'Notes' impressions were printed on cream Japanese paper (large sets) or grayish ivory proofing paper (small sets), mounted on white plate paper, which has often discoloured to off-white or ivory. Like "Gaiety Stage Door" (Chicago 14 / Way 10, GLAHA 46597/49021/49274/49686/49020), "Victoria Club" is a view from Way's printing offices on Wellington Street. By the time the stone bearing "Victoria Club" was printed for the 'Notes' portfolio in 1887, three figures had been removed from the image.
