The etched work of Whistler : illustrated by reproductions in collotype of the different states of the plates

Kennedy, Edward G. (Edward Guthrie), 1849-1932 · 1910 · [New York] : Grolier Club of the City of New York · 7 pictures

A 1910 catalogue raisonné of James McNeill Whistler's etchings, compiled by Edward G. Kennedy and published by the Grolier Club in New York, reproducing each plate state in collotype for collectors and print scholars. The plates show Venetian canals, palazzo facades, doorways and archways, rendered in soft, hazy etched lines with pale grey tones, and a designer might borrow their tonal atmosphere and the way loose lines suggest architecture and water.
