JAMES A. M. WHISTLER
Alderney Street.

Etching, 1881. 178x113 mm; 7x4 1/2 inches, wide (full ?) margins. Second state (of 2). Published by the Gazette des Beaux-Arts, Paris. A very good impression.

This is a street view in London in the vicinity of where Whistler lived for a short time after his return from Venice. The loosely-drawn crowd and architecture are similar to the Venice etchings in this view, that he made around November or December of 1880. Kennedy 238.
