Description: | Unmounted (1) s. in plate; b.l. "Whistler 1861."
(2) inscr. on flyleaf of volume; "S. t 434 / 789 / R Dunthorne"
(3) inscr. on binding of volume; "WHISTLER'S ETCHINGS" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) PUB Fine Art Society; (London) It was whilst on a camping trip with Edwin Edwards and Matthew W. Ridley that Whistler most probably made the etching "Encamping". However, it is doubtful that Whistler was pleased with the printed image as he cancelled the plate after pulling only one impression. In its original state, this work was published by the Fine Art Society in 1879. This impression was taken from the cancelled plate and was bound in a volume with GLAHA 49975 - 50030, with a description by Rosalind Birnie Philip of how she came by them. This volume of cancelled impressions was formed as evidence that the plates themselves had been cancelled. The etching plate for this work is also in the Hunterian collection (See GLAHA 50265). (See also GLAHA 46763/50325).
