(3) stamp; v. square stamp of Rosalind Birnie Philip CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT WAY, Thomas Robert; (English; 1861-1913) "The Brothers" is a study of Thomas and Samuel Govier at work before the furnace in their family blacksmith shop in Lyme Regis, Dorset. Whistler was fond of depicting the subject of smithies and did so in a variety of different media. When he received the first proofs of this image from Thomas Way, Whistler was disappointed with the results and planned some revisions to the stone. These changes were made when Whistler returned from Lyme Regis to London in late December, 1895. This lithograph was printed by Thomas Way. (See also GLAHA 49109-49122/49124/49392/49602-49615/50246).
