"The Limeburner" is a fine art etching created by the prominent American-born artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler in 1859. This work is part of Whistler's "Thames Set," a series of etchings that depict scenes from the River Thames and its environs. The etching showcases Whistler's keen interest in the everyday life and industrial activities along the Thames, capturing the essence of Victorian London's working class and its gritty urban environment.

The composition of "The Limeburner" features a laborer at work near a kiln or furnace, involved in the process of burning limestone to create quicklime, an essential material in the construction industry of the time. Whistler's use of delicate lines and varied etching techniques contributes to a sense of atmospheric depth and texture, which was innovative for the period and reflective of his mastery of the medium.

Measuring approximately 6 x 8.9 inches, "The Limeburner" is noted for its attention to detail and the way in which Whistler balances realism with a sense of mood and atmosphere. The etching is an example of Whistler's early work, created during a period when he was living in London and deeply engaged with the etching revival movement. It reflects his transition from the influence of French Realism towards the more personal aesthetic approach that would characterize his later work.

"The Limeburner" is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of Whistler's artistic development and the broader context of 19th-century etching. As with many of Whistler's prints, this etching has been studied for its technical qualities and its place within the narrative of Whistler's career and the art movements of his time.
