JAMES A. M. WHISTLER
Black Lion Wharf.

Etching on tissue-thin Japan paper, 1859. 150x215 mm; 5 7/8x8 7/8 inches, 1/2-inch margins. Third state (of 3). A superb, dark and evenly-printed impression with strong contrasts.

This view, named for the Wapping warehouse at the right (the name is visible above the sail on the plank house at the far right), shows a location below London Bridge where larger, ocean-going ships loaded and unloaded. Kennedy 42.
