SALES & COLLECTORS

Both Bryan Lathrop (1844-1916) (Graphic with a link to impression #K4250102) and Howard Mansfield (1849-1938) (Graphic with a link to impression #K4250106) owned impressions, and one was kept by Whistler and passed to the University of Glasgow by his sister-in-law Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958) (Graphic with a link to impression #K4250105). Similarities in title make it hard to distinguish between the sales of this and other Luxembourg subjects.
