192823171928. Etching with drypoint on antique cream laid paper 12 x 5 9/16 305 x 142 mm; sheet 13 1/4 x 8 1/2 inches 337 x 216 mm. Signed dated and inscribed in the lower margin in pencil. Although Fletcher specifies only 2 trial proofs Arms himself has inscribed "Trial Proof VII" in pencil in the lower margin. An impression aside from the regular edition of 100 printed on 18th century paper with a contemporary inscription in ink in the upper right corner which reads "Cent quatre vingt quatre" one hundred twenty four. There are some areas of light discoloration in the margins that date to the origin of the paper. Printed by Frederick Reynolds assisted by Henry Carling. A magnificently detailed impression in excellent condition. <br /> <br /> Fletcher 212. Périgueux has one of the most extensive old towns in the Dordogne department in France. The Périgueux Cathedral was originally built in the 12th century but it was rebuilt by the architect Paul Abadie between 1852 and 1895. The base of the bell tower was part of the original church. Today the square bell tower has three tiers pierced with arches that support a tall dome. In Arms' etching the bell tower looms above a narrow cobblestone alley lined with ancient stone buildings. In perhaps a tribute to Whistler Arms left building surfaces unmarked by his etching needle. Light vertical passages draw the viewer's eye toward the darker more detailed center of the image. One's eyes move upward with the play of shadow texture and light toward the imposing domed bell tower.<br /> <br /> Born in 1887 in Washington DC John Taylor Arms studied at Princeton University and ultimately earned a degree in architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1912. With the outbreak of W.W.I Arms served as an officer in the United States Navy and it was during this time that he turned his focus to printmaking having published his first etching in 1919. His first subjects were the Brooklyn Bridge near the Navy Yard and it was during his wartime travel that Arms created a series of extraordinarily detailed etchings based on gothic cathedrals and churches he visited in France and Italy the plate for Guardians of the Spire was created in 1921. He used what was available to him namely sewing needles and a magnifying glass to create the incredibly rich and fine detail that his etchings are known for. Upon his return to New York after the war Arms enjoyed a successful career as a graphic artist created a series of etchings of American cities and published Handbook of Print Making and Print Makers Macmillan 1934. He served as President of the Society of American Graphic Artists and in 1933 was made a full member of the National Academy of Design. Arms died in Fairfield Connecticut in 1953. unknown
