(3) stamp; v. square stamp of Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip PRINT WAY, Thomas Robert; (English; 1861-1913) CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This image of Parisian whitesmiths, or tinsmiths, at work was drawn in a narrow cul-de-sac near the Luxembourg Gardens, just a few blocks from Whistler?s studio on rue Notre Dame des Champs, in July, 1894. Although Whistler was initially pleased with the image, he seems to have changed his mind over time. In November, 1895, Whistler crossed "The Whitesmiths, Impasse des Carmelites", off a list of lithographs to be framed for the Fine Art Society exhibition due to open on December 4th. This lithograph was printed by Thomas Way between July 1894 and February 1895. (See also GLAHA 49337/ 49338/ 49581/ 49665/ 49846).
