Printed by Charles S. White. In superb condition. Fletcher 343. French Church Series No. 43 Minature Series No. 26 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

2003rif. 132BHeirloom & Howard Limited England 2003 Book. New. Hardcover. 1st Edition. English text; Hardcover leather bound in red morocco with dust jacket in slipcase LIMITED EDITION of 200 COPIES; 23.5 x 30.3 cm; 4.316 Kg; 904 pages with 1880 colour illustrations 1500 armorial services described; STILL WRAPPED IN PLASTIC.; In 1974 Faber & Faber published Chinese Armorial Porcelain which has remained the most comprehensive book on the subject. At that time David Howard did not anticipate the need for a second volume; however continued research has resulted in this book which illustrates 1380 services not illustrated in Volume I in addition to the 160 services which formed the addendum to that volume. The material in Chinese Armorial Porcelain Volume II is almost entirely additional to the first volume containing a new introduction and four new chapters on aspects of the China Trade. All the appendices are revised and extended and the index of mottoes and index of services cover both volumes the later containing an alphabetical list of over 4000 services - more than 3320 illustrated and 680 unillustrated - all made for the British or American market. This is an essential companion for those who own the first volume but this book certainly stands on its own and as Garter King of Arms writes in the foreword 'is an astounding work - destined to be a major reference source in the future'. While the book relies heavily on the evidence of armorials and their ability to date sometimes to the exact year when a service was made it also throws extra light on to the whole China Trade which was an integral part of the commercial success of the 18th Century Britain. The details of captains and supercargoes and the record of the sheer volume of trade which attended the growth of the largest company the world has ever known - the Honourable East India Company - provide a reliable and accurate backdrop to many other events in the 18th Century. This also enables researchers to use the evidence of heraldry and the 1980 illustrations all but 100 in colour to date many stylistic changes of porcelain in a way which because of the lack Chinese records of the export trade would not otherwise be possible. Publication of the first volume led to a reassessment of the scale of this specialist porcelain trade which was handled almost exclusively by private traders working with framework of the East India Company. Details of what these merchants purchased are not recorded in the India Office Library and it is only possible to gauge their influence on trade and decorative etiquette in Europe by studying what they brought home - some 12000 miles by sea - at a time when travel was far less certain than it is today. The chapters in this book explain not only the natural but also the political risks of trading in the 18th Century. To many this volume will provide the moment when the identity of a piece of porcelain is revealed. While the book with its considerable index of mottoes and cross-references to both volumes will fulfill that need in his foreword Garter King of Arms concludes 'Unlike so many works on an esoteric subject this had the aesthetic combined with the heraldic and genealogical to ensure a wider base of popular support - from the connoisseur to the armorist and from the collector of works of art to the social historian.'.;Containing: Introduction and four illustrated chapters on aspects of the China Trade: 1.Reflections Replacements Reproductions and Revival 2.Of Counters Carriages and Bookplates 3.Armorial Porcelain for Scotland and the role of the Swedish East India Company 4.Chinese Armorial Porcelain: The Market during the last Century and in the Future and The Laws of Blazon a chapter on understanding heraldry. Together with a comprehensive analysis and classification of styles and dates of armorial porcelain.General Index and 50-page comprehensive Index of Services.

Printed by Frederick Reynolds. Fletcher 193. 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
