"The Lime-burner" (Kennedy 46) is an etching created by the American-born artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler in 1859. Whistler, renowned for his innovative contributions to both painting and printmaking, produced this work during a period of intense creativity and exploration of urban scenes. The etching is part of Whistler's celebrated "Thames Set," a series of sixteen etchings that depict various aspects of life along the River Thames in London. These works are notable for their detailed and atmospheric portrayal of the industrial and working-class environments of the mid-19th century.

"The Lime-burner" specifically captures a lime-burning operation, a process where limestone is heated to produce lime, an essential material for construction and agriculture. The scene is set in a gritty, industrial part of London, reflecting Whistler's fascination with the city's less picturesque aspects. The composition features a lime-burner at work, surrounded by the tools and materials of his trade. Whistler's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the textures and atmosphere of the scene are evident in the intricate lines and careful shading of the etching.

This work exemplifies Whistler's skill in etching, a medium that allows for fine detail and subtle gradations of tone. His use of line to create depth and texture, as well as his ability to capture the play of light and shadow, are hallmarks of his style. "The Lime-burner" not only showcases Whistler's technical prowess but also his interest in the everyday lives of ordinary people, a theme that runs throughout much of his work.

Whistler's "Thames Set" was influential in the etching revival of the late 19th century, inspiring a renewed interest in the medium among artists and collectors. "The Lime-burner" remains a significant example of Whistler's contribution to the art of etching and his ability to find beauty in the industrial landscape of Victorian London.
