James E. Taylor Collection : Scrapbook Two
Visual Materials
The second scrapbook spans 78 pages and contains nearly 380 images. Taylor dedicated the second scrapbook primarily to Union Generals, officers, and their staffs. The most frequently reoccurring image in this volume is that of General Philip Sheridan, who Taylor followed for some time as a special artist for Leslie's Illustrated Magazine. There exists no particular order in which the officers are presented, but Taylor tends to use about a page or two for each. Notably, this scrapbook also contains a set of views of Confederate soldiers drilling and at rest near Pensacola, Florida, by photographer J. D. Edwards. At the end of the volume is a folder containing several loose pencil and pen-and-ink sketches by Taylor (eph. 1-10). A couple of the sketches appear to be in a finished state, while others are possibly preparatory sketches.
