The two states being markedly different, on several occasions examples of the first and second states were shown together, lent by Samuel Putnam Avery (1822-1904) to the Union League Club in New York in 1881, for instance (, ), and on sale in print dealer's shows, at H. Wunderlich & Co. in New York in 1898, and at Obach & Co. in London in 1903. 15 Charles Lang Freer (1856-1919) bought one state from the Wunderlich show in 1898 (). In other exhibitions, only the second state was shown. Bryan Lathrop (1844-1916), for instance, lent one to the exhibition organised by the Caxton Club show in Chicago in 1900 (). 16

Impressions were also shown in exhibitions after Whistler's death, at the Grolier Club in 1904 and in London - lent from the Royal Collection - in 1905. 17

The British Museum bought impressions of the first and second states from Ralph Thomas, Jr (1840-1876) in 1872 (, ). Samuel Putnam Avery (1822-1904) acquired impressions of both states, possibly in the 1870s ( and ). Charles Lang Freer (1856-1919) bought a first state in 1890 from Wunderlich's in New York () and another, originally from the collection of Francis Seymour Haden, Sr (1818-1910), in 1898 (). William Loring Andrews (1837-1927) gave an impression of the second state on good quality Japanese paper to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1883 ().

At auction, prices were low, at under £2.0.0 a time. At the 1887 sale of prints owned by John W. Wilson (dates unknown), 'Landscape with Horses' described as an 'early impression of the second state' was bought by Gustave Lauser (b. ca 1841) for £1.5.0. 18 At two later sales - the collections of George William Reid (1819-1887) in 1890, and the late Joshua Hutchinson Hutchinson (ca 1829 - d.1891) in 1892 - it fetched only £1.2.0. 19 Again, at the sale of Richard Beavis's collection in 1897, another impression was sold with Reading by Lamplight for only £2.12.0. 20
