REGINALD (REX) JOHN WHISTLER (1905-1944) LONDON MUSEUM / ST. JAMES' PARK STATION. 1928. 40x24 3/4 inches, 101 1/2x63 cm. Haycock Photochrom, London. Condition A-: minor creases, light foxing, minor restoration in margins; slight offsetting and unobtrusive horizontal crease in text. Whistler's whimsical style was again on full display here, with Britannia arriving in aunicorn-drawn carriage and all of the statues doffing their caps at her arrival. From the Union Jack wheel, to the cherub with a museum guide, to the royal Lion driving the carriage, the details of the image are charming and humorous. Underground p. 49, V&A E.2265-1929.
