The copper plate bears the maker's oval stamp: 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.' Several plates of London scenes are close in size, including
Petticoat Lane 299,
The Young Tree 285 and Doorway, Gray's Inn 289, as well as other town and seaside subjects, such as Doorway, Sandwich 323,
The Landing Stage, Cowes 309, Binding the Hair 334 and Fish Women, Ostend 349.
The plate was in Whistler's studio at his death in 1903 and 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 right corner.
