EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning calligraphic title page with a charming vignette of the city of London, featuring the iconic Saint Paul's Cathedral.

The delicate strokes and precise lettering demonstrate Taylor's mastery in calligraphy, highlighting his talent as both an illustrator and writer.
