KEYWORD

city, street.

TITLE

A drypoint was listed during stocktaking in Whistler's studio, as follows:

'High Street Kensington dry point Indication' (1890/1892, Beatrice Whistler (1857-1896)). 2

2: List, GUW #12715.

DESCRIPTION

Not known.

SITE

High Street Kensington is in central London. Whistler made several small street scenes around 1886 and 1887, including Perambulator, King's Road 277 and Piccadilly 256. Athough both these were recorded in the same list, there was some confusion in the stock-taking, with some etchings or plates being recorded twice under different titles, so it is possible that this title was confused with another.
