SALES & COLLECTORS
11: Whistler to E.G. Brown, GUW #13000.
Whistler sold several impressions to New York print dealers: on 16 April 1889 to H. Wunderlich & Co. for £6.6.0, and on 20 July 1889 to Knoedler & Co., also for £6.6.0. 12 The impression sold to Wunderlich's was '14' in the sales list, and that number is written on an impression of the third state bought by Howard Mansfield (1849-1938), later owned by Harris G. Whittemore (d. ca 1937), and given by Claude Wampler (1895) to the Syracuse University Art Galleries ().
12: GUW #13055.
Bryan Lathrop (1844-1916) had a very fine fourth state impression by 1900, possibly bought from Wunderlich's (). This also passed to the Art Institute of Chicago. Thus the Art Institute had a first state from the Wrenn collection, a fourth state from Lathrop, and decided to de-accession a fifth state that came to them from Charles Deering (1852-1927) (). At the time both the latter were thought to be Kennedy's third and final state.
