(2) Watermark; O. W. P. 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. In the early 1890s, Whistler produced a series of pastels, watercolours, drawings, etchings and lithographs of lightly draped models, posing with a young child. He made five lithographic versions of the theme and assigned them, and some of his variations in other media, the title "Mother and Child". The subjects of this group of works were probably one or more of the three Pettigrew sisters, favourite models of Whistler's, and their young niece. (See also GLAHA 49390/49391/49538/49600/49792).
