COMMENTS:
Very good condition. Good margins. Printed on cream laid paper, watermarked "F J Head & Co." Alternatively titled, Patagonia, an Arizona Town (Wilson 1988). Exhibited, The Brooklyn Society of Etchers, Fourteenth Annual Exhibition, Brooklyn Museum, January 1930.
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. This print illustrates the old main street in Patagonia, Arizona, with the "Corner Store" prominently placed left of center.
