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.
