"James A. McN. Whistler (1834-1903) is generally considered the greatest modern etcher, and this volume is the best collection of his etchings. Containing 149 outstanding examples out of the nearly 450 etchings and drypoints Whistler produced in his lifetime, this collection offers practically all of the prints in original size and a quality of reproduction that is exceptional. All except ten works have been reproduced directly from extremely fine impressions."--back cover
