No Binding. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Original etching, "We Fix Flats," on hand-made paper, 6 7/8 x 8 7/8 inches, 1932, signed in pencil "Robert Lawson imp." lower right margin, from an edition of 405. Original mat (lower right corner chipped). A very nice impression.The most famous of all of this artist's etchings was the 1932 Presentation Plate for members of the Society of American Etchers. "The presentation of a print by a well-known American artist-member has been an annual feature of the society's activities since its foundation in 1915," reported The Brooklyn Daily Eagle on November 13, 1932. "One active member of the society is commissioned each year to execute a plate for the associate membership, and following the printing of the required number, the plate is destroyed, so that the etching can be acquired solely by gift to the lay members." It depicts Pegasus being shoed by a band of elves in a forest in the manner of Lawson's illustrations for Arthur Mason's The Wee Men of Ballywooden (1930). "Mr. Lawson is an artist who indulges in the luxury of fantasy despite the practical tenor of our age, but never descends to the merely whimsical. His solid technical accomplishment imbues his fantasies with a strong armature of design and richness of coloring" (New York Evening Post, February 6, 1932). A beautiful copy SIGNED by the author on the bottom of the picture. Signed by Author(s).
