Impressions taken from this plate (11) |
The copper plate has the marker's oval stamp: 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.' It is the same maker and size as Justice Walk, Chelsea 441 and a later etching, The Steps, Amsterdam 452.
The plate was in Whistler's studio at his death in 1903 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.
