JAMES ABBOTT MCNEILL WHISTLER. The Lime-Burner (W. Jones, Lime-Burner, Thames Street)

JAMES ABBOTT MCNEILL WHISTLER. The Lime-Burner (W. Jones, Lime-Burner, Thames Street). Artist: James McNeill Whistler (American, Lowell, Massachusetts 1834-1903 London). Dimensions: Plate: 9 3/4 x 7 in. (24.8 x 17.8 cm)
Sheet: 12 3/8 × 10 1/16 in. (31.4 × 25.6 cm). Series/Portfolio: Thames Set ("A Series of Sixteen Etchings of Scenes on the Thames and Other Subjects" 1871). Date: 1859.
As he had in La Marchande de moutarde in 1858, Whistler here focuses on a humble business and uses the architecture to frame a receding interior. The proprietor, William Jones, leans against a barrel in his yard, near artfully arranged ladders. At left, a long passageway ends in a glimpse of the water of East London Wharf. Limeburners reduced chalk and limestone in kilns to produce a key ingredient for mortar and plaster. Whistler included this print in A Series of Sixteen Etchings of Scenes on the Thames and Other Subjects (the "Thames Set") in 1871.
