SALES & COLLECTORS
).In 1888 Whistler sold several to print dealers - two or three to Messrs Dowdeswell's, and one each to Wunderlich's and Knoedler's - for the same price. 23 The Wunderlich's invoice lists 'Cutler Street - Houndsditch' as number 9 of 41 sold, and that number is written on the verso of an impression bought by Howard Mansfield (1849-1938), and later acquired by the Library of Congress (
).).At Sotheby's, where an impression - a second state - from the collection of the late Joshua Hutchinson Hutchinson (ca 1829 - d.1891) was sold on 3 March 1892 (lot 316), it fetched far less, being bought for £4.10.0 by the London print dealer Robert Dunthorne (b. ca 1851). This was acquired by Clarence Buckingham (1855-1913) and given by his sisters to the Art Institute of Chicago (
