He is sometimes known as the "Shakespeare of Divines" for his poetic style of expression, and he is frequently cited as one of the greatest prose writers in the English language.

John Taylor.
Painted by Sir John Watson Gordon. Engraved by W.A. Cox.
Published by The Gainsborough Galleries Liverpool. Copyright 1923.
Colour printed mezzotint. Plate 438 x 285mm. 17¼ x 11¼".
This portrait of John Taylor ( fl. 1807 - 1825) and his caddy is one of the greatest golfing images. It shows Taylor, in his red captain's jacket, about to tee off on the original course of The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers on Leith Links, two miles north-east of the city centre. In 1744 this group (then known as 'the gentlemen golfers') had drawn up the first official rules for a tournament which were to form the basis for the modern game of golf. The club moved to Musselburgh in 1836 and further down the coast to Muirfield at the end of the nineteenth century. This is from an impressive oil painting by Sir John Watson Gordon (1788 - 1864) in the National Galleries of Scotland. Gordon was training to become an army engineer when, encouraged by his uncle, the painter, George Watson, and Raeburn, who was a family friend, he decided to become an artist. His first works were subject pictures but, after Raeburn's death in 1823, he established himself as the leading portrait painter in Scotland. His style was at first closely based on Raeburn but was later more influenced by his admiration for Velázquez. After Raeburn's death in 1823, Watson Gordon became Scotland's leading portrait painter.

John Taylor (1703-1772) was an itinerant ocultist and surgeon-ocultist to King George II, and claimed also to be Ophthalmiater Royal to the Pope and to the Emperor, along with a multitude of royalties, including a mythical Princess of Georgia and the Viceroy of the Indies. He was the first and last ophthalmologist to travel from court to court of Europe with a cavalcade of outriders and supporters. He was a physician who conducted early research into the nature and treatment of cataracts and other problems of the eye.

Engraving, 185 x 280mm. 7¼ x 11".
Frontispiece to an edition of works by John Taylor ('The Water Poet', 1578-1653), with a portrait of the author. Born in Gloucester, Taylor moved to London in the 1590s and served an apprenticeship to a waterman, ferrying passengers on the Thames. He later occupied prominent positions in the Watermen's Company. Besides epic boating expeditions in England and Scotland, Taylor travelled widely in Europe, and produced a considerable amount of travel-writing. He published his 'Works' in 1630, and lacking a patron dedicated it to 'the world'. Later years saw him take part in an expedition, sponsored by the Crown, to survey the upper Thames, before his fortunes faltered. Taylor died in poverty and was buried in St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Westminster. Engraved by Thomas Cockson (1591-1636 fl.).
