Description: | Unframed (1) s. with butterfly in plate; c.r.
(2) inscr. in pencil by Whistler; (on envelope containing the plate) "Little Terrace - Luxembourg / sadly bitten through" CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This is a copper etching plate. In the early 1890s, Whistler began to explore the medium of lithography and he seemed keen to compare the effects of this new technique with those of etching. He made a number of studies in both lithography and etching of the same subjects, and in particular views from the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris. This view of the "Terrace, Luxembourg Gardens, No. 2" is comparable with the lithograph "The Terrace, Luxembourg" (GLAHA 49342). (See also GLAHA 49910).
