The etchings reproduced here were first published in the 1910 catalog by Edward G. Kennedy, The Etched work of Whistler (published by the Grolier Club of the City of New York). Naylor, who selected the etchings to be reproduced in a 1975 Dover edition (and reprinted here), also provides an introduction to Whistler's printed oeuvre, and a discussion of the technique of etching.
