2. Charles Dowdeswell
Charles Dowdeswell (m. 1897), art dealer, son of C. W. Dowdeswell [more].
3. Naval Review -
'Naval Review set', 1887 (K. 316-331) (excat 7), etched on 23 July 1887, was presented to Queen Victoria in August 1887 and went on general sale in the following months.
4. Little London -
Whistler did a great number of etchings of London in or about 1887 (K.262-302), including T.A.Nash's Fruit-Shop (K.263) which JW may have called the 'Little London' set, although it was not published by a dealer, nor indeed by the artist on any scale. JW did refer on several occasions to an 'East London' set, although this also was not published by a dealer. It includes the other three etchings listed here, namely Clothes-Exchange, No.1 (K.287) or Clothes-Exchange, No.2 (K.288), and Cutler Street, Hounsditch (K.292).
