SALES & COLLECTORS
Early collectors included Samuel Putnam Avery (1822-1904), who bought one in the 1870s (
); and - slightly later - Henry Harper Benedict (1844-1935), who bought what was probably the second print (), which is now in the National Gallery of Australia. Francis Seymour Haden, Sr (1818-1910) bought what was probably the last impression from the sale of the collection of James Anderson Rose (1819-1890) (), and it was later acquired by Howard Mansfield (1849-1938), then by Harris G. Whittemore (d. ca 1937), and finally went to the Library of Congress.16: Howell to Whistler, 6-15 November 1877, GUW #02178.
