Description: | Unmounted (1) s. in stone with butterfly; c.r.
(2) stamp; v. round stamp of Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip 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. "The Butchers Dog" was drawn by Whistler on Cleaveland Street, London, close to the studio that Whistler was then renting on Fitzroy Street. Whistler was fond of drawing the subject of shop fronts, and he explored the theme in a variety of different media. (See also GLAHA 49168/49169/49170/49483/49625/49865/49866/49872/49873).
