The copper plate bears the maker's oval stamp: 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.' Similar size stamped plates, dating from the same period, include A French Street
[405],
The Market, Bruges
[354], Place Daumont, Tours
[390], The Hangman's House, Tours
[393], Château de Bridoré
[409] and Gateway, Chartreuse, near Loches
[421].
The plate was in Whistler's studio at his death and 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 upper right corner.
