The copper plate bears the maker's oval stamp: 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.' Several plates of London scenes are close in size, including
Petticoat Lane
[299],
The Young Tree
[285] and Doorway, Gray's Inn
[289], as well as other town and seaside subjects, such as Doorway, Sandwich
[323],
The Landing Stage, Cowes
[309], Binding the Hair
[334] and Fish Women, Ostend
[349].
The plate was in Whistler's studio at his death in 1903 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 lower right corner.
