Description: | Unmounted s. in stone with butterfly; c.r. 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. Whistler?s drawing of St. Anne?s, a late seventeenth century church on Waldour Street, Soho, was made in March, 1896, while he and his wife, Beatrix, were staying at the Savoy Hotel during the last stages of Beatrix's illness. Whistler?s drawing was made before the spring foliage had come out on the trees and the severity of the building was softened by the delicate pattern of branches in the foreground.
