Recto, above; verso, below:
The copper plate bears the maker's oval stamp: 'HUGHES & KIMBER (LIMITED) / MANUFACTURERS / LONDON E.C.' It was the same size as many plates of this period including Gateway, Chartreuse, near Loches 421,
Château Touraine 410 and
The Hangman's House, Tours 393.
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 from just below the centre of the left edge to just above the lower right corner.
