One of only 26 impressions of the second state of 2 printed in 1931. With the John Taylor Arms ink stamp in black ink in the lower-center margin. Fletcher 241 II; French Church Series No. 31. This magnificent etching was awarded the Mrs. Henry F. Noyes Prize Society of American Etchers 1931; the Carle Blenner Best Entry Prize New Haven Paint and Clay Club 1950; and the Best Print Annual Exhibition Arts and Crafts Association Meridan Connecticut 1952. 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 A Man For All Times p. 15. unknown

1888rif. 176492Glasgow: Oatts & Runciman 1888. A beautifully illustrated yachting monograph First and only edition of this handsome visual record this copy in the scarcer publisher's morocco binding it is usually found in blue cloth. The Royal Clyde Yacht Club founded in 1856 was the biggest in Britain at the end of the 19th century and Clyde yachts were world famous as pioneers of the relatively new sport of yacht racing. "It will be seen that for the most part the period dealt with is that lying between the beginning of 1880 and the end of 1887. Four boats built prior to 1880 have been given a place in our book - namely the Cyprus Madge Neva and Viril - because they were amongst the most notable of the boasts which ushered in the type so popular in after years" Preface. The fine chromolithographs reproduce a series of watercolours by Henry Shields RBA 1859-1935 showing famous yachts or "white wings". Three of them were America's Cup challengers: the Genesta 1884 Galatea 1886 and Thistle 1887. Folio.

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. In its most modern incarnation Palazzo dell'Angelo was constructed in or around 1570. The building which has a rich and storied history was erected upon the ruins of an earlier structure which predates the Gothic period. Some remnants of the earliest features of the residence were most certainly still visible when Arms visited as they are today. Having a background in architecture there's no question that Arms was moved by the beauty history and ingenuity represented in the physical structure. One thing specifically gives away Arms's passion for the architecture and that is the fact that he focused on the building's Moorish entranceway balustrade and two mullioned windows and not on the curious Gothic era bas-relief of an angel nestled into the facade of the building after which the structure is named. The sculpture itself doesn't appear in Arms's composition at all despite the fact that it is the feature of the building that is most famous in its folklore. Arms instead focuses on the oldest portion of the architecture even documenting some of the remnants of a fresco and a funerary stele for the freedman Tito Mestrio Logismo and his wife Mestria Sperata visible above the water level to the left of the door behind the gondola which was first described in 1436. Among the many notable bits of history regarding the Palazzo it has been documented that Tintoretto painted frescos of battle scenes on the facade of the building. The paintings have been lost to time and the elements but not entirely to history. The empty frame-like structure appearing in the brickwork to the left of the doorway an area which now lays oddly bare would have originally housed a fresco but now sits like a ghost where an untold number of eyes once gazed at something beautiful. Most famously however is the story of the origin of a small hole which appears in the facade of the building atop the figure of the bas-relief angel. Folklore has it that in 1552 Friar Matthew Bascio was invited to dinner by the Pallazzo's then resident Iseppo Pasini. Pasini was a very successful albeit unscrupulous attorney who made his fortune exploiting the poor. Pasini's exploits were so egregious it was rumored that he was perhaps under the influence of an evil spirit. The disturbing legend says that to his complete surprise when Friar Bascio was seated to dine that night he was waited upon by Pasini's bewitched pet monkey who he recognized immediately as the Devil himself. Upon this recognition Bascio was moved to squeeze the table cloth with his hand and saw that blood had leaked out of the linen. In this moment he cast the demon out of the house and during its departure the Devil made a hole in the wall through which he fled. It is said that the angel was placed in the facade below the hole to prevent the spirit from reentering. The hole is visible to this day above the angel on the building which still stands along a small canal behind the Piazza San Marco. After the building's Neoclassical remodel it served at the the senatorial residence of Italy's noble Ratta family. Arms's Palazzo dell'Angelo was awarded the Member's Prize at the 22nd Annual Exhibition Chicago Society of Etchers Art Institute of Chicago 1932. unknown

Fletcher 232 Illustrated: Page 192 Arms Dorothy Noyes "Hilltowns and Cities of Northern Italy". Along with his constant companion and wife Dorothy Noyes Arms spent decades exploring and documenting gothic structures throughout Europe. Noyes an accomplished travel writer had gifted Arms an etching set for Christmas in 1913 during the time that the couple called New York home. Arms having been trained in architecture was sparked and fascinated by the potential for exceptional precision that etching provided as a media. His immediate projects focused on the architectural wonderland that Manhattan presented but he quickly realized that it was no love affair for him. Jane Glaubinger PhD. Curator of Prints Cleveland Museum of Art quotes a manuscript owned by the Museum in which Arms confides "I can admire the skyscrapers of New York that unbelievable city which is a very gold mine for the architectural etcher but I do not love them and I cannot etch what I do not love." Glaubinger explains in her 2012 essay Images of Inspiration that Arms opined that the creation of art furthered the spiritual and moral improvement of mankind and he believed that Gothic cathedrals represented "the most significant expression of man's aspirations." Arms a dedicated and industrious devotee to detail saw printmaking as a vehicle for inspiring joy and uplift in contemporary society. Glaubinger continues "Over several decades Arms traveled throughout France Italy England and Spain drawing Gothic structures. These studies were the basis for the etchings he produced back in his Connecticut studio. Arms admired the craftsmanship of medieval art and aided by magnifying glasses used fine-gauge sewing needles set into wooden handles to draw the elaborate churches on copper plates. Extremely dedicated and industrious Arms rendered each building with exceptional precision spending 1000 hours or more on a single plate. He was a gifted draftsman and technical virtuoso who created compositions full of keenly observed details and nuanced light."
