Whistler ranks among the greatest of modern etchers, and this compilation features the best of his work in this genre. Here are 149 outstanding examples of his etchings and drypoints, most in the original size and reproduced directly from rare original prints. Appealing subjects include views of wharfs and bridges; street scenes from London, Amsterdam, and Venice; and portraits: "Black Lion Wharf," "The Storm," "The Village Sweet-Shop," "Old Battersea Bridge," "Nocturne," and many others. The editor has provided an insightful introduction and an explanatory note for each print, making this volume an excellent reference for those already acquainted with Whistler's etchings as well as a fine introduction for others. Unabridged republication of the work originally published by Dover in 1975. 149 black-and-white illustrations.
