T. Taylor drew harbours, mountains and historic buildings from Valletta to Khiva for the wood engravings in Élisée Reclus’s Universal Geography. These prints come from the English edition, published by Virtue and edited by E. G. Ravenstein, with Taylor credited as draughtsman and the blocks cut by engravers including F. Méaulle and C. Laplante. The subjects include Warsaw’s Łazienki theatre, the monastery at Tomar, a mosque at Khiva, St Malo and Dubrovnik, while Lake Hallstatt and the volcanic summit of Irazú in Central America supply contrasting terrain.
