About the Item
Whistler, James A. M. THE MEDICI COLLAR. Spink 170, Way 153, Levy 186.
Transfer lithograph, 1897. Number of impressions unknown.
Printed in Paris by Lemercier in black on cream colored laid paper without watermark, and with the printed butterfly at right. The print is inscribed, near the lower left edge of the sheet "essai," denoting that this is a trial proof, and thus likely one of only a small number printed. 1st (only) state. 7 1/4 x 4 3/8 inches, 185 x 112 mm. (image), 12 1/2 x 8 inches, 317 x 203 mm. (sheet).
There is a soft fold across the center of the plate, left to right; else in very good condition. The plate was in Lemercier's possession from 1897 until 1901, when, at Whistler's request it was canceled. This came about when Whistler was informed that Lemercier had printed and sold impressions from another of his lithographic stones without authorization. Thus it is uncertain whether or not Lemercier made unauthorized prints of this work, though given that the print is infrequently seen, it is likely that only those authorized by Whistler were printed.
Provenance: Ex-collection of H. H. Benedict, with his collector's stamp, Lugt 2936, verso. Benedict was the manufacturer and marketer of Remington typewriters; he owned a pair of mansions at 5 and 7 East 75th Street, and was a major and serious collector of art, including prints.

James Abbott McNeill Whistler
James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American artist active during the American Gilded Age and based primarily in the United Kingdom. Whistler was born on July 11, 1834, in Lowell. During his formative years in Paris in the 1850s, Whistler was influenced by the injunctions of the poet and theorist Charles Baudelaire that artists should take subjects from modern life and seek a new beauty in the teeming cities. Whistler's first major suite of prints, his French Set brought critical acclaim but disappointing sales. Seeking more generous patrons, he moved to London in 1859. Initially, under the influence of his brother-in-law Francis Seymour Haden, a pioneer of the etching revival, he began a series of superbly observed and finely detailed views of the River Thames with its shipping, thriving wharves and picturesque characters. In his Thames Set etchings, Whistler often introduced the figures of workmen, boatmen or loungers in the foregrounds. Whistler died on July 17, 1903, in London.
