Notes:

1.  Ernest G. Brown
Ernest George Brown (1853 or 1854-1915), assistant manager at the Fine Art Society [more].

2.  The Mast
The Mast (K.195). These etchings were published with Mr Whistler's Etchings of Venice, 1880 (the first 'Venice Set') (K. 183-189, 191-195). (excat 5).

3.  The Riva
The Riva, No.1 (K.192). The proof from a destroyed plate indicates that the edition of that etching had been completed, and the copperplate 'destroyed' for printing purposes by a line etched deeply across it.
