Description: | Unmounted (1) s. in stone with butterfly; u.c.
(2) inscr in pencil; v. "Dear Gimson " (?)
(3) Watermark; script CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT WAY, Thomas Robert; (English; 1861-1913) 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. This picturesque image of a busy market was drawn during a trip made by Whistler and his wife, Beatrix, to Brittany during July and August of 1893. Miss Rosalind Birnie Philip believed this view to be of Paimpol and not, as the title suggests, Vitre.
