The plate was inscribed by Whistler with the words "homage a M. Delatre". In its original state this etching was published by the Fine Art Society in 1879. This impression was taken from the cancelled plate and was bound in a volume with GLAHA 49975 - 50030, with a description by Rosalind Birnie Philip of how she came by them. This volume of cancelled impressions was formed as evidence that the plates themselves had been cancelled. (See also GLAHA 46605/46799/49938 - 49971/49973/49974/50277).
