2° (530 x 365mm). Lithographic title and dedication, 6 hand-coloured lithographic plates by J. Bouvier after Tayler , each with printed leaf of text. (Slightly browned and spotted.) Original roan-backed cloth (spine worn, loose).
Tayler entered the service of the East India Company in 1829, and according to DNB 'His official career had been uneventful, though he made friends in high quarters by his skill as a portrait painter, and some enemies by a turn for caricature'.
