The copper plate for Dipping the Flag is similar in size to Savoy Scaffolding 317, St James's Place, Houndsditch 255 and St James's Place, Houndsditch 255, all of which date from 1887.
The plate remained in Whistler's possession 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 left.
