SALES & COLLECTORS
In 1903 Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958) inherited an impression from Whistler, which she gave to Charles Lang Freer (1856-1919), in 1904 (), to go with the first state he had bought from Wunderlich's in the previous years (); this was very generous since she did not keep an impression for herself.
