Impressions taken from this plate  (16)
Etching: PK416_01 (plate)
The copper plate bears the maker's oval stamp: 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.' It is similar in size to several other plates of 1888 and 1889 including Court of the Monastery of St. Augustine, Bourges [403], Rue de la Rochefoucault [434] and Jews' Quarter, Amsterdam [449], which bear the same maker's stamp, and Church, Amsterdam [445], which is not stamped but probably came from the same maker.
The plate was in Whistler's studio at his death. It 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.
