Description: | (1) s. in stone with a butterfly; c.l.
(2) Watermark; PRO PATRIA AS and lion rampant 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. This sketch is of the entrance gate leading to the old priory church of St Bartholomew the Great: Whistler was particularly fond of the neighbourhood of St Bartholomews.
