| description | Frederick Keppel was the recipient, sender or subject of 19 documents, dated between 1888-1907, associated with Whistler and his work. They are available online in either digital form or by transcript, and in some cases both. Biography: Frederick Keppel, 1845-1912 Nationality: Irish/American Date of Birth: 1845.03.22 Place of Birth: Tullow, Ireland Date of Death: 1912.03.07 Place of Death: Identity: Frederick Keppel was a New York print dealer. Life: Keppel came to America in 1864 and became a print dealer in 1868. In the 1880s and 1890s he bought and sold a large number of JW's prints. In 1892 Beatrix Whistler described him as an 'old friend' (#09676). However, he appears to have offended JW in 1896 over a 'libellous little book' that he forwarded to JW, Ernest G. Brown and Joseph Pennell (#09177). In 1904 he published The Gentle Art of Resenting Injuries.
