About the Item

Etching on cream wove paper, 3 3/16 x 1 9/16 inches (81 x 41 mm), full margins. Signed, dated, and inscribed "II" in pencil, lower margin, and with an inscription and dedication in the artist's hand in the lower margin. From the second state (of 2) before the reduction of the plate. Fletcher states a total of three trial proofs, an unknown number of first state impressions, and a regular edition of 136 second state impressions. We believe this impression may be an unrecorded second state trial proof impression. In very good condition with notations in pencil in the margins, and paper tape at the top corners on the verso, and a dog-eared upper right corner, well outside of image area. [Fletcher 382] No. 32 from the Miniature Series No. 12 from the English Series The inscription in Arms's hand reads: An experiment on wood textures! To my friend FitzRoy Carrington J.T.A. FitzRoy Carrington was born in Surbiton, Surrey, in England; he was educated at Victoria College, Jersey, before coming to New York City in 1886. He worked for Frederick Keppel & Co., a dealer of etchings and engravings, between 1892 and 1913, and became a member of the firm in 1899. In 1911, the year before he published Prints and their Makers (1912), he became the editor of The Print Collector’s Quarterly. After 1913, he became a lecturer on the history of engraving at Harvard University and a curator of prints at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. He subsequently authored Engravers and Etchers: Six Lectures Delivered on the Scammon Foundation at the Art Institute of Chicago (1917) and On Print Collecting (1929). He died in 1954. -Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection.
