About this photograph

This 1924 edition of James McNeill Whistler's book was held in the Lessing J. Rosenwald Reference Collection at the Library of Congress. The volume includes an index. Records indicate the edition and printing information were not stated in the book itself.

The archive record lists multiple creators and associated parties, including Edward Lasker and Julius Rosenwald, though their specific roles in relation to this edition are not detailed.

The book's full title continues beyond what is shown, apparently referring to instances of conflict that Whistler documented or discussed in the work.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
