Recto, above; verso, below:
The copper plate has the maker's oval stamp: 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.', and it is close in size to several plates including
Notre-Dame, Bourges
[402],
Mairie, Loches
[413],
Man Fishing
[404] and Court of the Monastery of St. Augustine, Bourges
[403], dating from 1888, and Church, Amsterdam
[445], from 1889.
The plate was in Whistler's studio at his death and was bequeathed to Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958), who gave it to the University of Glasgow in 1935. It was cancelled posthumously with a diagonal line across the lower left corner.
