Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Later printing of the first authorized edition. Gilt-decorated papercovered boards with gilt-stamped mustard cloth spine. Very good with modest soiling and scuffing, owner's name inked on half-title. 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. For the last several years of his life Heinemann's residence served as Whistler's home when he was in London.

Hardcover. 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.

First edition. 8vo. (xvi), 292 pp. Publisher's yellow cloth backed boards, lettered to the spine and upper cover. Foxing to the front and rear, repair to the head of the upper joint, rubbing to the boards. An account of Whistler's libel suit against John Ruskin, the critic having savagely reviewed the painting "Nocturne" - "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 trial damaged both men, although Whistler won he was awarded only a farthing and the costs bankrupted him, while Ruskin's authority as the leading critic of his time was fatally wounded.
