Established in 1986, the Taylor Gallery deal mainly in China Trade and Marine paintings but they do also have some British, including Irish, paintings.
'Before the invention of the camera put them all out of business, there was a thriving cottage industry, particulary in Canton, whereby Chinese artists would paint pictures of ships and ports for the Western merchants to take home. Most of these artists did not sign their work either for reasons of illiteracy or because more than one artist was involved in painting the picture.' - cited from the gallery's official website.
