The first catalogue of Whistler's etch-

Ralph Thomas, and enumerated eighty
five subjects. Frederick Wedmore next
took up theStask, publishing in 1856 a
catalogue of PA plates. Thirteen years
later second edition was issued, includ-
ing fifty-four additional subjects, and in
1880 the record was extended by Mr..
Kennedy, who enumerated nearly one
hundred subjects not previously cata-
Iogued. In an exhibition held by the

variations of 1856 subjects were shown,
and in 1909 the Caxton Club of Chicago
