CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PRINT WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PUB Fine Art Society; (London) This impression is taken from the cancelled plate. The subject was etched as part of 'The First Venice Set', or 'Venice, A Series of Twelve Etchings', published by the Fine Art Society, London, in 1880. It replaced "The Traghetto, No.1" with which Whistler was dissatisfied. (See also GLAHA 46609/46806-46811/49938-50030).
