Portret van John Traill Taylor before 1891

This portrait of John Traill Taylor, a prominent figure in the British photography scene, was taken by the Dutch photographer Henry van der Weyde. The image, created before 1891, showcases Taylor's distinguished appearance with a prominent beard and a sharp gaze. The photograph is a fine example of a portrait from the late 19th century, capturing a sense of seriousness and gravitas. The crisp detail of the portrait, particularly in the clothing, emphasizes the precision of Van der Weyde's artistry. While the portrait is relatively small, it showcases a highly detailed representation of Taylor, making it a significant piece in photographic history.
