Recto, above; verso, below:
As with several of the 'Naval Review' copper plates (Dry Docks, Southampton 302, Bunting 304, The Turret Ship 305, Troopships 307, Her Majesty's Fleet: Evening 310 and Tilbury 312), this bears on the verso the oval stamp of 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.'
The Tilbury 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 from the top, near the left corner, to the bottom, to left of centre.
