Unidentified collector with initials LM, stamp verso (not in Lugt)

A fine impression of this extremely rare print.

James Waddell was the accountant appointed to oversee the reclamation of Whistler's artworks after his 1879 bankruptcy.

The Large Pool shows the Pool of London at Wapping, the scene of several prints of the Thames done some twenty years earlier. In composition it anticipates the etchings Whistler was about to do in Venice.

This is one of a large inventory of Whistler prints we maintain; inquiries are welcome (e mail at hschrank@nyc.rr.com )
