Recto, above; verso, below:
The copper plate has two examples of the maker's oval stamp, 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.' It is the same size as the plates for Fleur-de-lis Passage 360 and
The Beach, Ostend 353, both from the same maker, with the same stamp, and both dating from 1887.
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 at right.
