Rag Shop probably dates from 1888. In style and subject it is comparable to etchings dated between 1887 and 1889. It is close in size to two similar London subjects, The Barber's Shop, Chelsea [263] and
Justice Walk, Chelsea [441], which date from late 1887 or 1888. It is the same size as Bridge, Amsterdam [447], which dates from 1889, and close to another Dutch subject, The Steps, Amsterdam [452]. The butterfly signature is consistent with a date of 1888 or 1889.
