William Monk Art
1863-1937
Born in 1863 in Chester, England, William Monk learned to etch while studying in Antwerp. On his return to Chester, he continued working in this medium, producing many highly regarded images of local interest. In 1892, he moved to London to teach at the Bery Art School, St. John’s Wood, where he became director in 1897. Monk was elected an Associate of the Royal Society of Painters-Etchers and Engravers in 1894 and became a Fellow of the Society in 1899. In 1903, Monk inaugurated the Calendium Londinense or the London Almanac which consisted of a 15 x 11 inch print with the calendar of the year printed below. These hand-printed images were in wide circulation. In 1906, Monk toured Ireland and then traveled to New York where he created a series of etchings which were exhibited there at A. Ackerman and Son Galleries. The impact New York had on Monk lead him to advocate his newfound conviction that every art student should travel to America as well as Italy as part of their training. Monk returned to his native Chester after a long sojourn in London and died there in 1937. His work is represented in the collection of the British Museum and the South Kensington Museum.

Scott Fitzgerald received his Master’s Degree in Arts from California State University Fullerton, and went on to teach drawing and printmaking for 2 years at the university.
During his college years, he focused his study in contemporary art and photography, creating mixed media works often with social comments. It was not until the sophomore year, he discovered the traditional art of etching in his printmaking class. Immediately, he embraced the complex and difficult technical process of making prints from etching on copper plates.
Scott Fitzgerald established himself as a prominent printmaker in the next few years. With a strong interest in history, he accepted a commission to produce a series of etching depicting 15 Orange County historical landmarks. Besides producing very intricate prints in various sizes, he has engaged in many special projects. He worked with renowned English printer John Randle to produce a group of etchings...

Merry-Go-Round
By Reginald Marsh
Located in New York, NY
Reginald Marsh (1898-1954), Merry-Go-Round, etching and engraving, 1938, signed in pencil lower right and inscribed Forty Proofs lower left, [also signed in the plate lower left and inscribed SC]. Reference: Sasowsky 179, fourth state (of 4). In good condition, with margins (a paper loss upper right corner well outside of the platemark, stains from prior hinging, notations in pencil lower margin edge). 10 x 8, the sheet 11 1/2 x 9 1/8 inches.
A very good impression, printed in black on a wove paper with a partial FRANCE watermark.
Sasowsky notes that Marsh printed 15 impressions of this state (and only one or two of the prior states), and considered only 10 of the 15 valuable. His notation “Forty Proofs” is therefore surely an expression of a hoped-for edition size, as opposed to an actual edition size. We have found this quite often the case with Marsh prints – he indicates an edition size but the actual number of impressions printed is considerably smaller.
There is an eerie, almost ominous note in this, as in several of Marsh’s merry-go-round prints...
