- This etching was printed in an edition of 40. It is related to a painting in oil on canvas that was first exhibited at the Leicester Galleries, London in October 1921 (no. 25). A pastel version made in c.1922 was shown at the Leicester Galleries in March 1926 (no. 18).
Jonathan Black notes: "Place Blanche is situated on the Boulevard de Clichy and faces the celebrated Moulin Rouge dance hall. The print was much admired when exhibited in Nevinson's solo show of prints held at the Kraushaar Galleries, New York, in October 1926." ('C.R.W. Nevinson: The Complete Prints', (Lund Humphries, 2014), no. 95, p. 163)
