Arms, Dorothy Noyes [John Taylor Arms]
Fishing Memories
The Macmillan Company New York 1938. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Inscribed on the title page: "For Harriet and John Finucane our friends from Dorothy Noyes Arms John Taylor Arms." An early memoir about fishing from a woman uncommon signed. As the foreword says "Since time immemorial fishing has been considered a purely masculine sport. . . . for the unknown sisterhood of the rod and reel this little book is written." Dorothy and John have each signed separately and the inscription to their friends is in John's hand. Interestingly a previous inscription is present but very faded. John Taylor Arms was a well-known artist. Though he didn't do the illustrations in this volume--those belong to William J. Schaldach--the book is dedicated to him: "To J.T.A. to whose keen love of angling and joyous companionship in the days spent beside lake or brook or river I owe my happy fishing memories." Chapters range from at least Maine to Wyoming from trout to salmon with a lot in-between. Gilt fish on front and gilt lettering on the spine blue cloth. A very good book with stain to lower corner of front board light sunning to spine and toning to pages lacking the dust jacket. // Wood River = Books specializes in ecology natural history nature writing the environment and environmental literature with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.

A Hong Kong Canal Boat
1919. Aquatint with hand coloring in watercolor on watermarked laid Arches paper 8 1/16 x 5 9/16 inches 206 x 142 mm full margins. Signed titled dated and numbered 22/40 in pencil lower margin. From the fourth state of 4 consisting of a total of 80 impressions only 40 of which have hand coloring in watercolor. In superb condition with light toning and archival tape tabs at the top right and left corners and lower right corner on the verso well outside of the image area. Printed by Frederick Reynolds. <br /> <br /> Fletcher 23. Paper: Arms was typical of the artists of this period - he was obsessed with paper a mania for collecting paper that could/would improve an edition. The quantity he left after his death distributed by his wife to fellow artists witnesses his love for finely made paper -paper interesting because of texture color distinctive weave. The earliest paper known to have been used by Arms came from a Baptismal Register Kirchen Ordnung The Reformed Church Middletown Dauphin County Pennsylvania 1708 bought in a bookshop in Philadelphia. His early prints 1915-1919 evidence paper taken from old books with gilded edges. Some prints appear on stationary from the Cisalpine Napoleonic Italy still bearing the estampe of the office or department; others carry penned ink page numbers taken from old ledgers of the Eighteenth Century-all beautiful shades of grey blue and green handmade ribbed and otherwise. Some of his color aquatints were printed on full sheets of heavy chine or Japanese vellum giving a sense of luxury in the richness of the stock and the width of the margins. There was a myriad of modern papers gleaned in England France Italy and the United States. William Dolan Fletcher John Taylor Arms a Man for All Time: The Artist and His Work.

A Tower of Saint Front Perigueux
1928. Etching with drypoint on antique cream laid paper 12 x 5 9/16 305 x 142 mm; sheet 13 1/4 x 8 1/2 inches 337 x 216 mm. Signed dated and inscribed in the lower margin in pencil. Although Fletcher specifies only 2 trial proofs Arms himself has inscribed "Trial Proof VII" in pencil in the lower margin. An impression aside from the regular edition of 100 printed on 18th century paper with a contemporary inscription in ink in the upper right corner which reads "Cent quatre vingt quatre" one hundred twenty four. There are some areas of light discoloration in the margins that date to the origin of the paper. Printed by Frederick Reynolds assisted by Henry Carling. A magnificently detailed impression in excellent condition. <br /> <br /> Fletcher 212. Périgueux has one of the most extensive old towns in the Dordogne department in France. The Périgueux Cathedral was originally built in the 12th century but it was rebuilt by the architect Paul Abadie between 1852 and 1895. The base of the bell tower was part of the original church. Today the square bell tower has three tiers pierced with arches that support a tall dome. In Arms' etching the bell tower looms above a narrow cobblestone alley lined with ancient stone buildings. In perhaps a tribute to Whistler Arms left building surfaces unmarked by his etching needle. Light vertical passages draw the viewer's eye toward the darker more detailed center of the image. One's eyes move upward with the play of shadow texture and light toward the imposing domed bell tower.<br /> <br /> Born in 1887 in Washington DC John Taylor Arms studied at Princeton University and ultimately earned a degree in architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1912. With the outbreak of W.W.I Arms served as an officer in the United States Navy and it was during this time that he turned his focus to printmaking having published his first etching in 1919. His first subjects were the Brooklyn Bridge near the Navy Yard and it was during his wartime travel that Arms created a series of extraordinarily detailed etchings based on gothic cathedrals and churches he visited in France and Italy the plate for Guardians of the Spire was created in 1921. He used what was available to him namely sewing needles and a magnifying glass to create the incredibly rich and fine detail that his etchings are known for. Upon his return to New York after the war Arms enjoyed a successful career as a graphic artist created a series of etchings of American cities and published Handbook of Print Making and Print Makers Macmillan 1934. He served as President of the Society of American Graphic Artists and in 1933 was made a full member of the National Academy of Design. Arms died in Fairfield Connecticut in 1953. unknown

Afterglow; Geddington England
1938. Etching on antique Emberlin 1846 cream laid paper with a parial watermark of Britannia or Seated Victory set in a cartouche surmounted by the Crown of England 3 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches 83 x 140 mm full margins. Signed dated and inscribed "Ed. 150 II" in pencil lower margin. Non-archival tape tabs at the top corners recto well outside of the image area otherwise in excellent condition. Fletcher states an unknown number of first state proof impressions and 13 second state proof impressions; he also states a regular edition of 231 second state impressions. Arms's hand inscription regarding the numbering on this print remains slightly mysterious although Fletcher does descibe other instances in which recorded edition numbers appeared to be incomplete or incorrect so not an anomoly in this instance. The very special paper hand chosen for this impression would indicate that this is a proof impression perhaps a presentation proof of the second state aside from an unrealized run of 150. <br /> <br /> Fletcher 315.

Chartres in Miniature
1939. Etching on fine laid antique Head & Co. paper with a partial watermark. 1/2 x 13/16 13 x 21 mm full margins. Signed dated and inscribed "II" in pencil lower margin. A trial proof impression from the second state of two printed by the artist aside from the regular edition of 519. In superb condition with excellent inking and inky plate edges. <br /> <br /> Fletcher 330. Fletcher states a discrepency in the number of impressions in the regular edition of this plate. Arms in two different places lists the edition size as 471; yet his notes indicate an additional 48 impressions.<br /> <br /> French Church Series No. 42<br /> Christmas Card Series No. 20<br /> Miniature Series No. 23<br /> Brooch Series No. 4<br /> <br /> Paper: Arms was typical of the artists of this period - he was obsessed with paper a mania for collecting paper that could/would improve an edition. The quantity he left after his death distributed by his wife to fellow artists witnesses his love for finely made paper -paper interesting because of texture color distinctive weave.<br /> <br /> The earliest paper known to have been used by Arms came from a Baptismal Register Kirchen Ordnung The Reformed Church Middletown Dauphin County Pennsylvania 1708 bought in a bookshop in Philadelphia.<br /> <br /> His early prints 1915-1919 evidence paper taken from old books with gilded edges. Some prints appear on stationary from the Cisalpine Napoleonic Italy still bearing the estampe of the office or department; others carry penned ink page numbers taken from old ledgers of the Eighteenth Century-all beautiful shades of grey blue and green handmade ribbed and otherwise. Some of his color aquatints were printed on full sheets of heavy chine or Japanese vellum giving a sense of luxury in the richness of the stock and the width of the margins. There was a myriad of modern papers gleaned in England France Italy and the United States. -William Dolan Fletcher A Man For All Times p. 15. unknown
