1940réf. 8221940. Superb. Etching on antique laid paper with a large heraldic watermark. 4 1/4 x 2 3/8 inches 109 x 61mm full margins. Signed dated and inscribed "III" in pencil lower margin. The nature of the rare and special paper this impression is printed on leads us to believe that it is an unrecorded trial proof impression of the third state of 3. Fletcher states only one impression of the third state and an unknown number of first and second state impressions aside from the regular edition of 342 signed and dated impressions. In superb condition. Fletcher 335. English Series No. 7 Miniature Series No. 24 Based on a drawing made at Wilby on May 14 1936. 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
