The American Water Color Society held its Thirteenth Annual Exhibition during February 1880 at the National Academy of Design. “The Black and White Room,” as it was identified in the
show catalogue , featured some 130 art works. The etchings shown by New York Etching Club members were highlighted in the catalogue with an asterisk next to each artist’s name. Etchings were shown by NYEC members Albert F. Bellows, Samuel Colman, Frederick S. Church, R. Swain Gifford, Henry Farrer, James Craig Nicoll, James D. Smillie, Kruseman van Elten, Charles A. Vanderhoof, and Dr. Leroy M. Yale. John Henry Hill, whose name appears once with an asterisk, is thus misidentified as a member. Future New York Etching Club members Otto Bacher, J. M. Falconer, Mary Nimmo Moran, Thomas Moran, and Stephen Parrish showed etchings. Prints by Dr. Seymour Haden, Rembrandt, and Whistler were also displayed in the gallery.
The Society of Painter-Etchers was founded by Dr. Francis Seymour Haden—Whistler’s brother-in-law. Their first meeting was on July 31, 1880, with their fourth on December 23, 1880—recognized as the official date of founding. Haden accepted presidency of the organization on that date. At that meeting, he also announced the dates for their Hanover Gallery exhibition as March 14 through May 31, 1881.
The Boston Etching Club was established in February. E. H. Garett, President; and H. R. Burdick, Secretary. Early members: C.H. Turner, F. T. Merrill, C.F. Pierce, W.F. Halsal, F.G. Atwood, H.M. Stephenson, R. M. Bailey , A.B. Shute, W.R. Emerson, J.E. Baker, S. E. Carlson, and J.H. Young.
