The 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. The etching plate for this work is also in the Hunterian collection (GLAHA 50275). Whistler also painted an oil portrait of this sitter, Miss May Alexander, which is in the Tate Gallery (YMSM 127). (See also GLAHA 49948).
