Description: | Unmounted (1) 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, Miss 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. In this drawing, Whistler applied the lithographic crayon lightly and created the shadowed areas with broad parallel hatching. In this way, he both minimized the obtrusive grain of the transfer paper and evoked the airy, sun-drenched atmosphere of the scene. (See also GLAHA 49030/49255/49551).
