The copper plate has no maker's mark, but is similar in size to several other plates of similar date, Bird-Cages, Chelsea [297], Merton Villa, Chelsea [381], Clothes-Exchange, Houndsditch. No. 2 [359], Rag Shop, Milman's Row, Chelsea [329], and Quai de Montebello [385].
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 at right.
