Impressions taken from this plate  (2)
Gates, City, London dates from 1887. The butterfly signature is consistent with this date.
The copper plate is very close in size to several other plates such as Booth at a Fair [257] and The Little Nurse, Grays Inn [286], including some that definitely date from 1887, such as Return to Tilbury [311].
It is one of a series of etchings made in and around Grey's Inn at this date, including Doorway, Gray's Inn [289] and The Steps, Gray's Inn [282].
