JAMES A. M. WHISTLER
Early Morning.

Lithotint on cream wove paper, 1878. 165x259 mm; 6 1/2x10 1/4 inches, small margins. Fourth state (of 4), with the waistband on the figure at the far lower right removed. A very good, well-inked impression of this scarce, early lithograph.

This lithograph was intended for publication in the magazine Piccadilly but the publication ceased soon after its release and the edition was cancelled. According to Spink, "Fifty impressions were selected from the edition and the rest destroyed when the magazine failed." Way 7; Levy 17; Spink 9.
