A copper plate, possibly this, was listed as 'St James Street Aug 12 1887/ 5 1/4 x 3 3/4'. 4 This would mean a copper plate of about 135 x 97mm. It was close in size to a number of London plates, including Marbles
[270], Petticoat Lane
[299], The Young Tree
[285] and
Doorway, Gray's Inn
[289], all of which date from 1887.

The copper plate of St James Street decorated with bunting was in Whistler's studio at his death and was bequeathed to Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958). Miss Philip gave the plate to the University of Glasgow in 1935. It was cancelled posthumously with a diagonal line across the lower right corner.
