SALES & COLLECTORS
Whistler also sold several to H. Wunderlich & Co., New York, on 6 April 1891, and later, for £6.6.0, in 1899, 1900 and 1901. 13 Bryan Lathrop (1844-1916) owned an impression by 1900, possibly bought from Wunderlich's (). The artist also bequeathed an impression to Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958), who gave it to the University of Glasgow, with the copper plate, in 1935 ().
