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. Rue Furstenburg is a small street behind Saint Germain des Pres in Paris, running between rue de l?Abbaye and rue Jacob. In mid-August, 1894, Whistler paused here to make this small drawing that he later called a "great favourite". (See also GLAHA 49076/49365/49587/49633).
