The copper plate has no maker's mark. It was close in size to several other plates - Petticoat Lane [299], Doorway, Gray's Inn [289] and
The Landing Stage, Cowes [309] - all of which date from 1887.
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 left corner.
