| Impressions taken from this plate (16) | ||
The copper plate bears the maker's oval stamp: 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.' It is similar in size to several other plates of 1888 and 1889 including Court of the Monastery of St. Augustine, Bourges 403,
Rue de la Rochefoucault 434 and
Jews' Quarter, Amsterdam 449, which bear the same maker's stamp, and Church, Amsterdam 445,
which is not stamped but probably came from the same maker.
The plate was in Whistler's studio at his death. It 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 at right.
