SCARCE THIRD STATE JAMES A. M. WHISTLER
Billingsgate.

Etching on antique wove paper, 1859. 152x225 mm; 5 7/8x8 7/8 inches, full margins. Third state (of 8), before the burnishing-out of the bodies of all the principal figures, and before the foul biting which fills the sky across the tops of the masts. A superb, rich and inky impression of this scarce, early proof. Kennedy 47.
