Arthur Negus Fuller (1879-1945) printed both black and intaglio etchings of “Reflections.” In 1935, he exhibited this colored etching in the Deerfield Valley Art Association exhibition at the Hall Tavern in Charlemont, Massachusetts. Arthur was the youngest son of George and Agnes (Higginson) Fuller of Deerfield, Massachusetts. In 1915, he purchased the Little Brown House and studio barn on Albany Road and began printing monotypes. In 1919, he bought a printing press with his brother, Henry, for their shared Boston studio, and in 1920, they bought a second press for their studio at the Little Brown House. Arthur’s first intaglio etchings date from this time. Between 1915 and 1935, he produced more than a hundred prints with editions that included up to 75 prints. His earliest intaglio, or colored, etchings were printed with a single pass through the press. He first inked the lines on a copper plate, wiped off the excess, then lightly daubed ink where he wanted color, using the tip of a twisted cloth. Consequently, each intaglio print in an edition is slightly differently from the next.
