PUBLICATION

An impression from the collection of Francis Seymour Haden, Sr (1818-1910) was exhibited by H. Wunderlich & Co. in New York in 1898 and bought through Thomas Wilmer Dewing (1851-1938) by Charles Lang Freer (1856-1919) (
). 6
Howard Mansfield (1849-1938) lent his impression ('With signature written twice') to the exhibition organised by the Caxton Club in Chicago in 1900, and to the Boston Whistler Memorial exhibition in 1904 (). 7 He hoped to borrow one for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, but for some reason it was not included. 8
Several examples were shown in the Memorial Exhibitions after Whistler's death, with two different states shown at the Grolier Club in New York in 1904. One was exhibited in Paris in 1905, and one in London, lent by Henry Studdy Theobald (1847-1934), also in 1905. 9
