EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Portrait Studies, c1880" by Mortimer L Menpes, takes us back to the late 19th century. The image showcases a group portrait study of the renowned American artist James McNeill Whistler. With his face captured in a side view, Whistler's enigmatic expression draws us in, revealing a glimpse into his artistic soul. Menpes skillfully captures the essence of Whistler's persona through this monochrome composition. The artist's distinguished moustache and monocle add an air of sophistication to his appearance. This intimate portrayal allows us to appreciate not only Whistler's physical features but also his contribution to the arts. The location remains undisclosed; however, it is evident that this portrait was taken in a rural setting, perhaps reflecting Whistler's connection with nature and its influence on his work. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported to a time when artistry thrived amidst simplicity and tranquility. Originally published as part of "Whistler As I Knew Him" by Mortimer Menpes in 1904, this print serves as a testament to their friendship and mutual admiration for each other's craft. It stands as an homage to one great artist capturing another through the medium of drypoint. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the early 20th century United States art scene, we are reminded of the profound impact that James McNeill Whistler had
