JAMES A. M. WHISTLER The Storm.
Drypoint on cream laid paper, 1861. 156x286 mm; 6 1/8x11 1/4 inches, full margins. MacDonald's third state (of 3), though with the unobtrusive cancellation lines diminished. A superb, richly-inked impression of this extremely scarce print.
According to Kennedy, "Only 4 impressions are known before cancellation of the plate." MacDonald notes that the cancelled plate was acquired by the Fine Art Society, London, in 1879, who issued a small edition. Later, H. Wunderlich & Co., New York, acquired the plate and published "a fairly limited edition of at least 12 in 1889." Kennedy 81; Glasgow 81.
