Recto, above; verso, below:
The copper plate bears the maker's oval stamp: 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.' It is the same size and same extremely elongated proportions as other plates etched in Belgium and London in 1887,
Gold House, Brussels
[336] and The Canal, Ostend
[352] (which also bears the Hughes & Kimber stamp).
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 right corner.
