Impressions taken from this plate (4) |
The copper plate bears the maker's oval stamp: 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.' It is the same size as several plates including Rag Shop, Milman's Row, Chelsea
[329], and close in size to others, such as
Quai de Montebello
[385],
Dordrecht
[259], Merton Villa, Chelsea
[381].
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 left corner.
