After Whistler's death in 1903, his heir and sister-in-law, 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 drew this old building housing a clock-maker's shop while visiting the town of Paimpol during a trip he made with his wife, Beatrix, during July and August of 1893.
