2. Thibaudeau
Alphonse Wyatt Thibeaudau (ca 1840 - d.1892), print dealer [more], was asked to make a few impressions from the plates but JW later took over the printing of the edition himself (MacDonald, Margaret F., Palaces in the Night Whistler in Venice, Aldershot, 2001, p. 120-121).
3. Doorway
A list of etchings from A Set of twenty-six etchings of Venice, 1886 (the second 'Venice set') (K.196-216, 233-237).
