Impressions taken from this plate (5) |
The copper plate bears the maker's oval stamp: 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.' The size was one Whistler had used a lot, but at an earlier period, as in for example
Pickle Herring Wharf 164 and
From Billingsgate 165.
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.
