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. 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. French Church Series No. 42 Christmas Card Series No. 20 Miniature Series No. 23 Brooch Series No. 4 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
rif. 24723Oxford 9 Sept. 1857. Two Letters. Four pages 12mo bifolium. "I am delighted to hear from you that the Bassingham Doorway is to be preserved - I lose no time in sending a design for the oak doors - I think plainly moulded framing & ridged panels will best suit the age - It looks plain in outline - but if of handsome English oak will look beautiful in execution. I had not a single dimension of width or height to guide me - It is hardly fair to set to work without them - but in the hands of a good joiner . - These square panels . are now in keeping with the style of domestic work of this period than cusps & tracery. . We are only just come home - My Father see below is at present at Lincoln - & not likely to be home for spome days. I hope you are quite well & very busy: & shall be glad if the inclosed should be put in practice - I trust the propositins are not egregiously inaccurate. With most kind regards to Mrs. Watson ." ENCLOSED: Autograph Letter Signed "J.C. Buckler" architect father of Charles working with him perhaps also to Frederick Watson 2pp. 16mo closely written good condition. "I am much obliged to you for the enclosure & with regard to the other part of your letter referring to the spandules the of the arch must remain blank underlined. I did not look upon it as a defect when I preapred the design & do not now think that it will be regarded asa . When I have time I will design the corbel. I shall be obliged to you if you will look in the Norwich papers for remarks upon the Cathedral & the ruins I have taken pains to save. Some notice of these subjects has already been taken but it is now too late to enquire after them. If when you have done with the paperwork some of these days may touch upon these antiquities & would send it to me I'd be obliged. Nobody else is likely to take the trouble to make the information known to me." Notes: a. "The Bassingham gate is now located since 1857 on the South side of this medieval Guildhall Norwich. The Door was previously located on house at London Street Norwich"; b. See article online "Getting into a Scrape: The Buckler Dynasty Lincoln Cathedral and Mid-Victorian Architectural Politics"."The Bassingham gate - Portal at 57-59 London Street was removed for widening in 1857. The Door & Portal was bought by William Wilde for twelve pounds.It is deeply misleading. Arnold Kent writing in 1949 noted that the arms of Henry VII above those of the Goldsmiths Company and the City of Norwich could no longer be made out. They have been crudely recut - presumably after 1949."

1996rif. 9867gcsBoston: Journey Editions 1996. First Edition. Square quarto burgundy boards hardcover silver letters 180 pp. Near-Fine in a Fine dust jacket. With signed photograph laid-in. With signed illustration to endpaper. From dust jacket: Robert Shields believes in two things: humor and magic. He is a one-man creativity machine who has spent his life sharing his sense of energy and awe and wonder with people all over the world. At the age of twenty-three Robert’s unusual and brilliant talent landed him at the top of stardom’s ladder -- you may perhaps know him best as one half of the internationally renowned mime duo Shields and Yarnell. Cats Fish and Fools provides a visual road map to Robert’s self-made galaxy of whimsy and magic. As an artist designer mime sculptor actor dancer writer retailer and entrepreneur everything is material for his expression. Robert’s paintings and sculptures have appeared in galleries throughout the world; his exclusive jewelry designs can be seen on Barbra Streisand Whoopi Goldberg and Shirley MacLaine. Now for the first time Robert’s art -- and the many orbits of his life -- come together in the pages of Cats Fish and Fools. What holds it all together “My only concern” Robert says “is to somehow touch the child within all of us. My work is all part of the road back to childhood.” And down that road we can see the timeless dance of the Fool -- it’s the road that will lead us to our true selves. Journey Editions, (1996).
