This etching was published by the Fine Art Society in 1879. There is a pen drawing for this work in the British Museum (MacDonald 1995 (575)). The etching plate for this work is also in the Hunterian collection. (GLAHA 50524). (See also GLAHA 49939-49951/49953-50030). This work was purchased by the University of Glasgow from Dr Frederick Mulder in February 1972. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | CANCELLED PLATE : LANDSCAPE : LIVERPOOL : RIVER MERSEY : SAILING VESSELS : WHISTLER CENTENARY : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
