About the Item

This image is stamped as being rom the personal collection of Arms Referenced as Fletcher #386 the image is signed .and inscribed in pencil and is from a small edition of 16. The Anglican Church of St Mary at Bibury in the Cotswold District of Gloucestershire, England, was built in the 11th century. It is a grade I listed building. John Taylor Arms studied architecture at Princeton and MIT and later became the country’s finest etcher of his age. His renderings of European and American architectural subjects are not only beautiful, but they are unrivaled in their technical virtuosity and nuanced light. In a recent exhibit, the Cleveland Museum noted: Arms believed that art could be a tool for the spiritual and moral improvement of mankind and that Gothic cathedrals represented “the most significant expression of man’s aspirations.” He viewed printmaking as a vehicle for disseminating images of subjects that would uplift and inspire contemporary society. Arms served as President of the Society of American Etchers and as an ambassador for American printmakers and printmaking throughout the world.

Located in New Orleans, LA
"Old Uppsala Church" was done in small edition of 15. This impression is #3. Gamla Uppsala (Swedish: Old Uppsala) is a parish and a village outside Uppsala in Sweden. As early as the 3rd century AD and the 4th century AD and onwards, it was an important religious, economic and political centre.
