The copper plate bears the maker's oval stamp: 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.' It was similar in size to other plates used in 1888 including Theatre, Loches [418], Woman sleeping in a chair [401], Hôtel de la Promenade, Loches [415], [Market Women: Turkeys [424]].
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 right corner.
