Etching: PK381_01 (plate)
The copper plate has no maker's mark. It was close in size to several other plates used on this trip, including Booth, Market Place, Loches [425], Doorway, Stables - Loches [416], Rue des Bons Enfants, Tours [392], Market Women, Loches [423], Windows, Bourges [398] and Tour Saint Antoine, Loches [414]. None have the maker's mark: they may have been obtained in France.
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 upper right corner.
