Description:
1938. Etching on antique Emberlin 1846 cream laid paper with a parial watermark of Britannia, or Seated Victory, set in a cartouche, surmounted by the Crown of England, 3 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches (33 x 140 mm), full margins. Signed, dated, and inscribed "Ed. 150 II," in pencil, lower margin. Non-archival tape tabs at the top corners, recto, well outside of the image area, otherwise in excellent condition. Fletcher states an unknown number of first state proof impressions, and 13 second state proof impressions; he also states a regular edition of 231 second state impressions. Arms's hand inscription regarding the numbering on this print remains slightly mysterious, although Fletcher does descibe other instances in which recorded edition numbers appeared to be incomplete or incorrect, so not an anomoly in this instance. The very special paper hand chosen for this impression would indicate that this is a proof impression, perhaps a presentation proof of the second state, aside from an unrealized run of 150.… Read More
