TUCSON

ARIZONA

Edition: Not stated, but probably around 75. Signed and dated in pencil, Andrew Butler  '33, lower right; titled, Looking into Mexico, in the lower left margin.

Image:  8 7/16 x 11 7/16 inches (214 x 290 mm). Sheet: 11 1/2 x 15 3/8 inches (291 x 390 mm).

Reference: Craven 1939.

Excellent condition. Good margins. Printed on cream laid paper, watermarked "F J Head." One very soft handling crease in the upper right margin, well away from the image. Otherwise in fine shape. Exhibited, The Society of American Etcher's, Eighteenth Annual Exhibition, National Arts Club, November to December, 1933.

Based on a series of etched images, titles, and associated dates, Andrew Butler evidently lived within the Arizona borderlands region of Elgin, Sonoita, and Patagonia in Southern Arizona circa 1929-1933. Craven (1939:Plate 18) makes note that the artist "farmed in the Southwest ...." Little else seems to exist on this artist's Southwestern experience. Later prints tend to illustrate New England scenes.
