Whistler Etchings at the University of Glasgow

Here's an interesting article about Whistler's etchings, a huge collection of which are held at my alma mater.

WHISTLER ETCHINGS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW

James McNeil Whistler

The University of Glasgow has the biggest collection of the works of James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) , thanks to some nifty negotiations with Whistler's sister in law, who inherited the whole caboodle after his death.  

As a major printmaker, the Whistler Etchings Project is a collaboration between the University of Glasgow,  the Art Institute of Chicago and the Freer Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, to fully catalogue his entire collection online.
