          Jackson Lee Nesbitt (1913-2008) Wire Mill 1939 The etching, numbered 60 from the edition of 60 prints, is signed by the artist in pencil below the image lower right and titled lower left. Nesbitt described the scene as follows: '' This was the noisiest place I've ever been in all my life. You had to wear earplugs in there. The company tried to have me remove some of them, men in this piece so that their operation would look more efficient, but they finally agreed to let it stand as drawn. in Kansas City, steel is gradually getting thinner and longer. The big coils are loaded on arms, so the steel can be uncoiled as it goes through successive dies, which further reduce the diameter of the wire. The end result is the production of fence wire, bailing wire, nails, and bolts.'' Of the impetus for this series of prints documenting the industrial processes at Sheffield Steel Corporation in Kansas City, Nesbitt recalled: 'The company had called the Kansas City Art Institute to inquire about an etcher to create some images of their operations. John De Martelly and I were both recommended; but De Martelly, not wanting to spend any time on site at Sheffield, encouraged me to do it. For all the Sheffield pieces, I had to submit a finished pencil drawing to the company for approval prior to creating the etching. The original etchings were given as Christmas remembrances to VIPs both in and outside of the company and were offered for sale to the employees.' Turns out, Nesbitt spent a great deal of time on site at Sheffield detailing their massive works in more than sixteen different complex images completed during the 1930s, plus six more during the late 40s and early 50s. Image measures 9 x 12, sheet is11.75 x 13.75 inches.

          Jackson Lee Nesbitt (Missouri, 1913-2008) Evening in March 1942 This etching was printed in a special edition by the author aside from the 250 prints published by Associated American Artists. The work is signed by the artist in pencil lower right, and in the plat there as well with the date of 1942. This plate mark signature identifies this as being from the small group of prints pulled by Nesbitt. The title is lower left. Jack Nesbitt describes the print this way, ''Benton and I were sketching along this Arkansas road when this old guy rode by. He mistook us for surveyors and allowed as how this road could use some fixing. I also did a painting of this subject, which was accepted into the Artists for Victory juried exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The Met sent me a check for $250 but no explanation as to whether it sold to a private individual or was kept as part of their permanent collection. The print is illustrated in American prints in the library of Congress. It is also featured in Albert Reese's American Prize Prints of the 20th Century.

          Jackson Lee Nesbitt (1913-2008) Ten Inch Bar Mill 1938 The rarely seen etching printed on 'FRANCE' watermarked paper in an edition reported as being of 80 prints is signed by the artist in pencil lower right and titled Rod Mill lower left, dedication to Chet Moore center below the image. For whatever reason, this image, with its toiling figures lit by glowing steel, and the etcher's brilliantly conceived semi-circle swoop of white-hot steel rod like a halo in the image, has only appeared at auction twice before. One other was sold by Paramour Fine Arts in Franklin, Michigan. That makes for a grand total of three known to have appeared in any market. Strange things can happen. There is an etching by Nesbitt's colleague John De Martelley that sources say was intended to be an edition of 75, but the plates were lost after only a few impressions. It is not known why so few of this image by Nesbitt exist. Although it's listed in Retif & Salzer, the artist's catalog raisonne, as number 13, it's the only entry in the book that does not have a corresponding image. The title there is stated as Ten Inch Rod Mill, which corresponds to the other two examples found. Nesbitt describes the scene as, ''In the rolling process at this mill in Kansas City, steel is reduced into smaller shapes for the wire mill. The men grab it with tongs and whip it around to send it on to the next process.'' This image is from a highly sought after series of prints documenting the industrial processes at Sheffield Steel Corporation in Kansas City, Nesbitt recalled ' The company had called the Kansas City Art Institute to inquire about an etcher to create some images of their operations. John De Martelly and I were both recommended; but De Martelly, not wanting to spend any time on site at Sheffield, encouraged me to do it. For all the Sheffield pieces, I had to submit a finished pencil drawing to the company for approval prior to creating the etching.

Of the impetus for his well-known and highly sought after series of prints documenting the industrial processes at Sheffield Steel Corporation in Kansas City, Nesbitt recalled 'The company had called the Kansas City Art Institute to inquire about an etcher to create some images of their operations.

The original etchings were given as Christmas remembrances to VIPs both in and outside of the company and were offered for sale to the employees.' Turns out Nesbitt spent a great deal of time on site at Sheffield detailing their massive works in more than sixteen different complex images completed during the 1930s, and six more during the late 40s and early 50s.
