(2) Watermark; FELLOWS CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT WAY, Thomas Robert; (English 1861-1913) 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. This lithograph was printed by Thomas Way. (See also GLAHA 49165/49171/49454/49455/49456/49624/49820-49823).
