Impressions taken from this plate (47) |
The etching probably dates from early 1879. Whistler offered the copper plate for publication to the Fine Art Society, London dealers, on 14 March 1879, but they rejected it: later they changed their mind. 1 It almost certainly dates from the same time as Old Battersea Bridge 188.
