The copper plate has no maker's stamp. It is the same size as three other plates - Charing Cross Bridge [348], Return to Tilbury [311], Gates, City, London [280] - which all date from 1887. 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 left corner.
