SALES & COLLECTORS
Whistler sold an impression in 1899 to H. Wunderlich & Co., New York for £3.3.0. 8 This may have been bought by Bryan Lathrop (1844-1916) () or Howard Mansfield (1849-1938) ().
Whistler sold another to the London print dealer Robert Dunthorne (b. ca 1851) in June 1903 for £10.10.0, the huge increase in price perhaps reflecting Dunthorne's awareness that Whistler was very ill. 9 This impression was bought by Charles Lang Freer (1856-1919) a couple of months later ().
Two impressions were inherited by Whistler's sister-in-law, Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958), who bequeathed them to the University of Glasgow, which kept one () , and sold the other ().
