The copper plate for Dipping the Flag is similar in size to Savoy Scaffolding [317], St James's Place, Houndsditch [255] and St James's Place, Houndsditch [255], all of which date from 1887.
The plate remained in Whistler's possession 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 left.
