PUBLICATION

Windsor Castle was not published. It is however related to the 'Jubilee Set'.

EXHIBITIONS

Charles Lang Freer (1856-1919) was generous in lending the one known impression (), to an exhibition in Chicago in 1893, to the show organised by the Caxton Club in Chicago in 1900 and to the Grolier Club in New York in 1904. 5

However, it appears that another impression was shown at H. Wunderlich & Co. in New York in 1898: this has not been located. 6

In addition, an impression was shown at the Whistler Memorial exhibition in London in 1905. 7 Again, this has not been located.
