SALES & COLLECTORS
Other art dealers bought impressions direct from the artist. Messrs Dowdeswell took one and then returned it. 15 Whistler sold one to the Fine Art Society, London, on 18 December 1888, and another London print dealer, Robert Dunthorne (b. ca 1851) bought one at the usual rate of £8.8.0 in 1902 and another in June 1903 (just before Whistler's death) for £10.10.0. 16
In 1908 Obach & Co. sold an impression to the Kupferstichkabinett, Berlin, for £12.0.0 (). Wunderlich's, Knoedler & Co. and F. Keppel & Co. handled an impression of the third state eventually bought by Lessing Julius Rosenwald (1891-1971) and given to the National Gallery of Art ().
