Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Eden Versus Whistler: The Baronet the Butterfly; A Valentine With a Verdict
The gentle art of making enemies. That Sir William Eden should have considered �100 adequate pay ment for a portrait of his wife was beyond doubt provocative. But where Mr. Whistler seems to have shown rather less than his usual tact was in both keeping Sir William's valentine and declining to surrender his picture - indeed, not only declining to surrender, but availing himself of the right of a considerable artist to efface the head and preserve the general arrangement, in which he intended to place another head. The questions which the Court will have to decide are numerous and rather obscure.
