The copper plate has no maker's mark. It is close in size to Clothes-Exchange, Houndsditch. No. 1 358 (a Hughes & Kimber plate used in 1887) and Rag Shop 380 (which has no mark and is dated about 1889).
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.
