EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white etching by James Abbott McNeill Whistler. This artwork, taken from Whistler As I Knew Him, a book by Mortimer Menpes, offers a glimpse into the artistic movement of tonalism in the early 20th century. The print showcases a scene on the River Thames in London during the late 19th century. A rowing boat gracefully glides across the water while steamboats with towering masts dominate the background. The artist's masterful use of monochrome creates an atmospheric and moody ambiance that captures both the tranquility and bustling energy of river transport. Whistler's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his etching technique.

The play between light and shadow adds depth to this work of art, evoking a sense of mystery and intrigue. This print not only serves as a visual representation but also transports us back to an era when steamboats were at their peak as a mode of transportation along major rivers like Thames. It invites us to appreciate both historical significance and aesthetic beauty through Whistler's unique artistic vision. As we admire "Steamboats off the Tower" we are reminded once again why James Abbott McNeill Whistler remains one of history's most celebrated artists – his ability to capture fleeting
