Label TextThe drawings that John Taylor Arms produced while travelling in the 1920s and 1930s allowed him to continue to create prints during World War II of the European architecture he so admired. Occasionally, he would employ photographs of the subject as a reminder of the finer architectural details not rendered in his drawings.Exhibition HistoryToledo Museum of Art, Storytelling in Miniature, October 7, 2011-March 4, 2012.Comparative ReferencesSee also Library of Congress, American Prints, The Johns Hopkins Press, 1970, no. 181.
