Whistler on the Thames

Ahead of a major exhibition at Dulwich Picture Gallery later this year, FAS present etchings and lithotints depicting the River Thames by the American artist James McNeill Whistler. Made after Whistler moved to London from Paris in 1859, they capture the poor river community of Wapping, where he initially took up residence, and the Thames at night from the more affluent area of Chelsea, where he later moved to in 1867.
