Description: | Unframed s. in plate with butterfly; b.l. CRE WHISTLER, James McNeill; (American; 1834-1903) This is an etching plate. Whistler returned to the River Thames as a subject for both etching and lithography in the late 1870s and this image dates from that time. This view over the Thames was drawn at night and Whistler contrasts the natural darkness with unnatural illumination. The chimneys on the far shore catch the reflected light of the city at night. (See also GLAHA 46603).
