ABOUT THE ARTIST
“John Taylor Arms will live on and on and future generations centuries from now will marvel at his work... . As a friend and as a man, he fully matched his superb work.” —John Winkler, printmaker
Born in Washington, D.C. in 1887, John Taylor Arms attended the Lawrenceville School and began the study of law at Princeton University. In 1907, he transferred to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and took up the study of architecture. Arms evolved his unique drafting style, with its highly realistic, precise detail and exquisitely rendered effects of light, from his experience and practice as an architectural student. He graduated in 1911 and completed a master’s degree the following year. He then worked as a draftsman with the well-known Carrere and Hastings Company in New York.
In 1913 Arms was given a hobbyist’s etching set, and he began to dabble with copperplate and acid. In 1915, after copying a handful of prints by Jongkind and other Etching Revivalists, Arms created his first original etching. His early experiments were picturesque views of European villages, reflecting the influence of Whistler. He inked and printed several of these plates in color in the manner of Charles Mielatz...

Circa 1950 original poster by Kenneth Steel : Lancaster Castle British Railways
Located in PARIS, FR
The circa 1950 original poster by Kenneth Steel, promoting Lancaster Castle under the banner of British Railways, stands as a remarkable piece of mid-20th-century travel advertising. This poster invites viewers to explore one of England's most historic and architecturally significant landmarks, highlighting the accessibility and convenience of visiting the site via the British railway system.
Kenneth Steel, known for his mastery in watercolors and lithography, captures Lancaster Castle with a sense of grandeur and historic depth. The castle, with its robust Norman architecture, is beautifully depicted in warm tones that emphasize the texture of the stone walls and the lush greenery surrounding the fortress. Steel’s ability to blend light and shadow brings the scene to life, creating a welcoming yet majestic atmosphere that encourages travel and exploration.
At the heart of the poster is Lancaster Castle, a symbol of England’s rich medieval heritage. The text below the image provides historical context, noting that the castle, originally a Norman structure from the 11th century, was significantly strengthened and expanded in the 14th century by John of Gaunt...

Christ's College, Cambridge 1690 engraving by David Loggan

To see our other views of Oxford and Cambridge, scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this seller" - or send us a message if you cannot find the view you want.
David Loggan (1634 - 1692)
Christ's College, Cambridge (1690)
Engraving
39 x 48 cm
Loggan's view of College, Cambridge from the 'Cantabrigia Illustrate', with later hand colouring.
Loggan was born to English and Scottish parents, and was baptised in Danzig in 1634. After studying engraving in Danzig with Willem Hondius (1598-1652 or 1658), he moved to London in the late 1650s, going on to produce the engraved title-page for the folio 1662 Book of Common Prayer. He married in 1663 and moved to Nuffield in Oxfordshire in 1665. Loggan was appointed Public Sculptor to the nearby University of Oxford in the late 1660s, having been commissioned to produce bird’s-eye views of all the Oxford colleges. He lived in Holywell Street as he did this. The 'Oxonia Illustrata' was published in 1675, with the help of Robert White (1645-1704). Following its completion, Loggan began work on his equivalent work for Cambridge; the 'Cantabrigia Illustrata' was finally published in 1690, when he was made engraver to Cambridge University.
The 'Oxonia Illustrata' also includes an engraving of Winchester College (Winchester and New College share William of Wykeham as their founder) whilst the 'Cantabrigia Illustrata' includes one of Eton College (which shares its founder, Henry VIII, with King’s College).
Bird’s-eye views from this era required a particular talent as an architectural perspectivist; it was not until 1783 that it became possible for artists to ascend via hot air balloons and view the scenes they were depicting from above. Loggan thus had to rely on his imagination in conceiving the views.
Loggan’s views constitute the first accurate depictions of the two Universities, in many ways unchanged today. Whilst the Oxford engravings were produced in reasonable numbers and ran to a second edition by Henry Overton (on thicker paper and with a plate number in Roman numerals in the bottom right-hand corner), those of Cambridge were printed in much smaller numbers.
