Memorandum
-for-
Representative Exhibition of Etchings
-by-
J. McNeill Whistler.

Note. The etchings bearing numbers below 269 are numbered according to Wedmore's Catalogue; those bearing numbers beyond that are numbered according to the Supplement published by H. Wunderlich & Co.

Impressions of many of the etchings on the list can probably be found in nearly all of the following collections:-

Samuel P. Avery Collection, given by Mr. Avery to the Public Library of New York; Collections of Frank L. Babbott, Brooklyn, New York; Henry H. Benedict, New York; George W. Bramhall, Orange, N.J.; Francis Bullard, Boston; John Caldwell, Pittsburgh; Walter S. Carter, Brooklyn, New York; Charles J. Freer, Detroit; Mrs. John L. Garner, Boston; George P. Gardner, Boston; Henry O. Havemeyer, New York; Edwin B. Holden, New York; Fisher Howe, Boston; Bryan Lathrop, Chicago; Howard Mansfield, New York; Denman W. Ross, Cambridge; Charles H. Tweed, New York; George W. Vanderbilt, New York; John H, Wrenn, Chicago; Edwin W. Winter, New York.

The collection of Mr. Freer includes what is known as the Haden Collection.

The Collections in which certain rare or early proofs can probably be found are indicated by initials of Collectors apposite the titles of the etchings; but the indication is not to be taken as necessarily limiting such proofs to these particular collections.

Where it seems desirable to exhibit more than one state of a plate, the fact is indicated.

The etchings marked # were specially approved by Mr. Whistler for exhibition at the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893.

I confirmed that Walter S. Carter of Brooklyn was a noted lawyer and collector of art.
