ROCAMADOUR

Arms, John Taylor. ROCAMADOUR. Etching, 1927; (Fletcher 186); 13 3/4 x 9 5/8; signed, titled and annotated "II" for Second State;" edition 100 in this state, of a total edition of 150. This is #10 of the French Church Series. In excellent condition and nicely framed. The Calvary church at Rocamadour, in the Auvergne, was "perhaps the greatest pilgrimage spot of the twelfth cantury." The town is built vertically into the hillside. When John and Dorothy Arms visited the church "it was first necessary to go into our hotel by the front door, climb three flights of stairs and go out by the roof...past a little garden...then on to the winding path which leads from one Station of the Cross to another." (Dorothy Noyes Arms, Churches of France, Macmillan, 1929, Pp 103-106).
