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.
