John Taylor Arms was one of the more famous printmakers of the first half of the twentieth-century. He is well known for his medieval architectural etchings and precise realism. From his prints one can see his belief that Gothic architecture was man's greatest achievement. As a printmaker, he was mostly self-taught. Even so, his expertise as an etcher was without equal. He would often hone down photograph needles to create lines that need high powered magnification to see. The effect is to give the gothic architecture a texture and a feeling of life that few others could achieve.
