Impressions taken from this plate  (43)
The copper plate has no maker's mark. It is close in size to The Dyer [192], and a little smaller than The Traghetto [233], which also have no mark. They may have been made for Whistler in Venice. 6
It was published by Messrs Dowdeswell and Thibaudeau with A Set of Twenty-six Etchings (the 'Second Venice Set') in 1886. The copper plate was cancelled with crossed diagonal lines in 1887.
The plate is now in the Art Institute of Chicago. 7
