EXHIBITIONS

It was first exhibited by H. Wunderlich & Co., New York, in 1898. Impressions of two different states, probably bought from Wunderlich's, were lent by Bryan Lathrop (1844-1916) to the exhibition organised by the Caxton Club in Chicago in 1900 (Graphic with a link to impression #K3060102, Graphic with a link to impression #K3060202). 10

Finally, after Whistler's death, impressions were shown at two major shows, at the Grolier Club in New York in 1904 and at the Whistler Memorial Exhibition in London in 1905. 11

SALES & COLLECTORS

Whistler sold two impressions in 1897 to the New York print firm, H. Wunderlich & Co., for £4.4.0 each and they recorded two impressions - of the first and second state - sold by 1899. 12 Impressions of two different states were owned by Bryan Lathrop (1844-1916) by 1900 (Graphic with a link to impression #K3060102, Graphic with a link to impression #K3060202). Charles Lang Freer (1856-1919) bought an impression of the first state, said to have come from the collection of James Cox-Cox (ca 1849- d.1901), from Obach's in London in 1903 (Graphic with a link to impression #K3060103). An impression originally owned by John Henry Wrenn (1841-1911) is now in the Library of Congress (Graphic with a link to impression #K3060205).
