Impressions taken from this plate (33) |
The copper plate has no maker's stamp and is a different size from all other plates. The Square House, Amsterdam
[454] is the same height but 9 mm wider.
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.
