The copper plate is close in size to several plates used in France in 1888, including Passages de l'Opéra 386, Railway-Station, Voves 387, Mairie, Loches 413.
The copper 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.
