Comments:
Caroline Armington reportedly sourced antique ledgers and paper from booksellers along Paris’s Left Bank to use for her etchings. This preference for historical materials is a hallmark of her practice; this specific print is executed on a ledger leaf dating to circa 1743.
The Généralité de Dijon stamps (often marked "G. de Dijon") were royal tax stamps used in 18th-century France to indicate that a legal document had been officially registered and the required tax paid to the crown (Louis XV).
In the Ancien Régime, a "Généralité" was an administrative and tax district. Dijon was the seat of one such district, covering much of the Burgundy region.
