8vo, Bound in card boards, the spine printed in black, the front cover in gilt. Whistler's famous record of his dispute with the critic John Ruskin who wrote of one of the artist's paintings, "I never expected to hear a coxcomb ask two hundred guineas for flinging a pot of paint in the public's face." A Very Good copy, the card covers a little scraped here and there, and the back hinge starting. Inside, the paper is a little faded but not foxed; no marks. Very Good; some scrapes of covers, rear hinge cracked.
