Etching: PK263_01 (plate)
The copper plate bears the maker's oval stamp: 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.' It is close in size to several etchings dating from 1887 and 1888 including After the Sale, Clothes Exchange, Houndsditch [357], Gray's Inn Place [281], Wheelwright [240], Bunting [304], Hôtel de la Croix Blanche [395] and The Clock Tower - Amboise [429].
It 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 right corner.
