Fletcher 107. Edition 75. If Whistler sought the poetry of the atmosphere, John Taylor Arms sought the spirit of the stone. A master of technical precision, Arms utilized sewing needles and magnifying glasses to achieve a level of detail that redefined the Gothic Revival in print. In works like American Cathedral (The Woolworth Building), Arms treats the modern skyscraper with the same reverent complexity as a medieval cathedral. His work represents the 'Whistlerian Vision' pushed to its ultimate technical conclusion: a meticulous, soaring devotion to the architectural sublime
