(2) Watermark; "J SIMMONS / 1824" 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 drew "Hotel Colbert, Window" during one of two trips he made to Paris in 1891. The hotel at which the artist was staying was within easy walking distance of the rue Colbert. The lithograph is a brief study of one of the windows of the Hotel Colbert and some of the architectural details of the façade. (See also GLAHA 49292-49295/49565/49723-49725).
