Impressions taken from this plate (6) |
The copper plate bears the maker's oval stamp: 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.' It is close in size to the plates for
The Fur Cloak - Mrs Herbert 367
and Nora Quinn 364 (similarly stamped) and
also to York Street, Westminster 382 and Notre-Dame, Bourges 402.
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 lower right corner.
