Notes:

1.  [1890/1891]
The etchings listed date up to 1889, but some were not printed until 1890. Dates of sales and printing of etchings were added at various dates 1890-1891.

2.  MsD
The list is written in an unknown hand. It is based on #12715. Some-misspellings arise from titles copied inaccurately from #12715. The record of sales, written in miniscule print, may sometimes be added by JW or Beatrix Whistler (1857-1896), née Beatrice Philip, artist [more].

3.  A
This is a list, in roughly alphabetical order, of etchings, based on #12715.

4.  u m
'u. m.' probably means unmounted, and 'm.' mounted.

5.  Rixon
William Augustus Rixon (fl. 1880-1936), landscape painter [more].

6.  Ballister
Charles Wolcott Balestier (1861-1891), novelist and literary agent [more].

7.  L. Z. Leiter
Levi Ziegler Leiter (1834-1904), industrialist and collector [more].

8.  Wunderlich
Hermann Wunderlich and Co. The etchings during this period, particularly the Amsterdam etchings, were numbered and dated as printed and sold.

9.  Lenoir
Helen Lenoir (1852-1913), née Coupar Black, actress and stage manager [more].

10.  Herbert
Elizabeth, Mrs G. H. Herbert, an acquaintance of J. Birnie Philip.

11.  Lady C. C.
Gertrude Elizabeth Campbell (1857-1911), née Blood, Lady Colin Campbell, writer, art critic and amateur artist [more].

12.  [p. 77]
This page appears much nearer the end of the ledger book (on page 218) and appears to index the page order of the alphabetical list.
