Impressions taken from this plate  (26)
The Drury Lane copper plate bears the maker's oval stamp: 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.' It is different in size from any other plate.
It was published by Messrs Dowdeswell and Thibaudeau with A Set of Twenty-six Etchings (the 'Second Venice Set') in 1886. It was then cancelled with crossed diagonal and curving, zig zag diagonal lines.

The plate is now in the Art Institute of Chicago. 4
