John Taylor Arms

Chartres, the Magnificent
1948

An etching of a grand Gothic cathedral with two prominent spires, surrounded by a cluster of buildings, set against a backdrop of a cloudy sky. The artwork is signed and dated in the lower right corner, and there is a collection mark in the lower right margin. The paper appears aged, with the etching centered on the sheet.
