UNIVERSITY of GLASGOW

Recto, above; verso, below:

The copper plate bears the maker's oval stamp: 'HUGHES & KIMBER / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.' It is close in size to two figure studies - Tillie: A Model [113] and Miss Alexander [117] - and two scenes - The Beach, Hastings [150] and London Bridge [172].

The copper plate was cancelled with crossed diagonal lines. It was probably among plates bought at Whistler's bankruptcy sale by the Fine Art Society, London. It was published in an album of Cancelled Plates ('Cancelled Set') by The Fine Art Society, London, 1879.

The plate was probably among those acquired in exchange for lithographs from Robert Dunthorne (b. ca 1851) by Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958). 10 The plate was given by Whistler's sister-in-law Miss Philip to the University of Glasgow in 1935.
