Etching on Chine collé, 1861. 121x165 mm; 4 3/4x6 1/2 inches, full margins. Third state (of 4). Published by Day & Son, London. A very good impression.

The Junior Etching Club formed in London in 1857 and Whistler joined the club soon after his arrival from Paris (spurning Haden's Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers some 20 years later). Kennedy 85.
