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."

1775réf. 3823The complete text of the Causes and Necessity of their Taking Up Arms appears on pages 2 and 3 of the newspaper. The Second Continental Congress convened in Philadelphia on May 10 1775 only about seven months after the First Continental Congress had adjourned. But with the battles at Lexington and Concord occurring in April 1775 hostilities had begun and the Congress needed to act. The action was the issuance on July 6 of the "Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms" a pivotal founding document that laid out the colonies' justification for war while making it clear that it was a defensive action and not a declaration of independence. An initial draft of the Causes was rejected by the Congress as being too harsh. Thomas Jefferson and John Dickinson produced the new draft which the Congress approved. In the end the Causes was a masterful blend of airing grievances and reaching out for reconciliation while also clearly stating that independence was on the table if necessary. While the British Parliament was the primary intended audience of the Causes it was also critical that the document satisfy the strongly divided Congress itself. At the time there was extreme tension between those advocating for independence and those in favor of a peaceful reconciliation. The final document provided enough justification to satisfy both sides - and allowed the journey to nationhood to continue to the next watershed moment the Declaration of Independence just a year later. In addition to the important publication of the Causes this issue of the Virginia Gazette includes a brief mention debunking a report of an engagement in the days following that at Bunker Hill. It also prints "General Gage's false and audacious account of the late battle near Boston Bunker Hill." As an aside it should be noted that during 1775 there were three newspapers all named the Virginia Gazette and all published concurrently in Williamsburg. They are easily distinguished by their respective publishers Pinkney in the case of the offered newspaper. A rare and important paper very nicely preserved.

Expected age toning. Small ink blot in masthead and a spot of foxing to the first leaf. Overall a very good example. ICN 7811. John Pinkney
