Impressions taken from this plate  (47)
The etching probably dates from early 1879. Whistler offered the copper plate for publication to the Fine Art Society, London dealers, on 14 March 1879, but they rejected it: later they changed their mind. 1 It almost certainly dates from the same time as Old Battersea Bridge [188].
