(2) Watermark; A. W. P. & O. C. L. CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT GOULDING, Frederick (English; 1842-1909) This is a posthumous printing. 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. "Sunday, Lyme Regis" is a view looking up Broad Street, the long sloping street where Whistler rented lodgings and a studio during his stay in Lyme Regis, Dorset, in the autumn of 1895. When the first proofs were printed by Thomas Way, the printer described this image as a "charming new drawing of a street". Whistler, however, was less pleased with the final outcome, but he did submit the lithograph for exhibition at the Fine Art Society in December of 1895 and six impressions of the scene were sold during the course of the exhibition.
