About this objectAlbert Taylor studied at the Liverpool School of Art, where he trained under Geoffrey Heath Wedgwood, and continued his studies privately with Charles Herbert Clark. His practice focused primarily on etchings of landscapes and architectural subjects. Alongside his own work, Taylor was an avid collector of prints from the Etching Revival, a movement that sought to re establish etching as a vital artistic medium in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His dual role as artist and collector highlights both his technical skill and his deep appreciation for the tradition of printmaking.
