Sobre este artículo
New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1916. Hardcover. Good. Later printing. Gilt-decorated papercovered boards with gilt-stamped mustard cloth spine. Unopened pages, hinges repaired with cloth tape, boards and spine toned with chipping at the edges, good only. Whistler's details of his libel suit against the critic John Ruskin, who in an 1877 published review of Whistler's painting "Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket" had written: "I have seen, and heard, much of Cockney impudence before now; but never expected to hear a coxcomb ask two hundred guineas for flinging a pot of paint in the public's face." The lawsuit nearly ruined both parties - ultimately the artist was awarded a single farthing in damages and the court costs were split. Whistler had counted on many artists to stand witness at the trial but most declined, fearing the impact on their reputations.
