Concerning the etchings of Mr. Whistler
A 1899 New York book by the critic Joseph Pennell, published by F. Keppel & Co., discussing the etchings of James McNeill Whistler and reproducing them as plates. The pictures are fine line etchings and drypoint-style sketches, including a seated woman, a pencil-like portrait of Whistler, and a riverside view of wharves and masts with the plate lettered 'Eagle Wharf'. A designer might take from them the loose, hatched linework and the generous margins of a late nineteenth-century art monograph.
