Description: | Unframed s. in plate with butterfly; c.r. CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This is a copper etching plate. Spitalfields and Houndsditch, in the East End of London, were the heart of the used-clothing district in Whistler?s lifetime. Whistler was fond of spending time in the less well-off areas of the city where he made images that celebrated the energy and character of the lifestyle there, rather than the poverty many of the people endured. This image was inteded for the projected 'Little London Set'. (See also GLAHA 46907).
