About the Item

John Taylor Arms was known for making such finely drawn etchings that commercial tools were not good enough: He regularly used sewing needles with corks for handles. Made during World War II in 1943, this is a view of the USS Alabama at Norfolk, Virginia. It is signed, dated, and has an extensive dedication to the artist Adolf Dehn.
