"Maunders Fish Shop, Chelsea",

transfer lithograph on ivory colored fine laid paper, with half of a large watermark which appears to correspond to the watermark known as "Fortune Figure", possibly before the letters in the shop name were slightly scraped to make the lettering legible, 1890, plate signed with the butterfly center over the outdoor table, with a collector stamp verso , ,
  • Condition:
  • References: Recorded in the standard texts on the original lithographs of Whistler by Way no. 28, Levy 42, Stratis, Spink and Tedeschi no. 37.
  • Framing: offered unframed
  • Note:When first transferred and proved, the letters in maunder were blurred and difficult to read. In the second state, the letters were tidied up. According to T. R. Way s 1905 catalogue, twenty-eight proofs were then pulled from the original stone. However, this count is too low, as there were thirty-one impressions, both signed and unsigned, in the artist s estate in 1903.(Way 28).

    The estate copies were managed by Ms. Birn Phillips, Whistlers's assistant and sister-in-law. She stamped the lifetime printings with a square stamp, as here, and the postumouse printings with a circle stamp.
