SALES & COLLECTORS
) and it is now in the British Museum. Charles Lang Freer (1856-1919) bought another impression of the first state from the Company of the Butterfly (Whistler's short-lived business outlet) in London (). One was bequeathed by Whistler to his sister-in-law Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958) who gave it to the University of Glasgow ().). However, it is more likely that the second state was printed around 1900, possibly by Francis Short (1857-1945), and sold after Whistler's death, either by Short or by Miss Birnie Philip, who sold duplicates from the Whistler estate through Colnaghi's. The earliest recorded sale is in 1907, when an impression of the second state was bought by the Victoria and Albert Museum (). In the following year, 1908, P. & D. Colnaghi & Co. sold one (on an unusual light blue paper) to the Kupferstichkabinett, Berlin, for £30.0.0 ().
