JAMES A. M. WHISTLER
Chelsea Bridge and Church.

Etching and drypoint printed in black on cream laid paper, circa 1871. 102x170 mm; 4x6 3/4 inches, full margins. MacDonald's seventh state (of 7), a very early, proof-like impression in this state, with abundant burr on the sailing barge at right and the forground boat. Fleur-de-lys watermark. A superb, dark impression of this scarce etching with strong contrasts. Kennedy 95; Glasgow 102.
