The copper plate has no maker's mark. It was close in size to many other plates, mostly made by Hughes & Kimber, and mostly thought to date from 1887. These included other London subjects (i.e.
Melon Shop, Houndsditch 355, Nut Shop, St James's Place, Houndsditch 356,
Exeter Street 274, Gray's Inn Place 281), as well as
Jubilee plates (i.e. Troopships 307), and etchings done in Brussels (i.e. The Barrow - Quartier des Marolles, Brussels 346) and Paris (i.e. Greengrocer's Shop, Paris 471).
It was in Whistler's studio at his death and was bequeathed to his sister-in-law 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 left corner.
