Recto, above; verso, below:
The copper plate is the same size as two other plates etched in 1887, Petite Rue des Bouchers 342 and
Rag Shop, St Martin's Lane 328. None of these three have a maker's stamp. It is a little larger than another used on the same day, The Orator, Buffalo Bill 293.
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 with a diagonal line at left.
