Henry Taunt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry William Taunt (1842–1922) was a professional photographer based in Oxford, England. His studio was in Broad Street, Oxford.
Henry Taunt's black and white photographs are mainly views of Oxford, Oxfordshire (together with surrounding counties) and the River Thames. He produced the first pocket guide to the River Thames to be illustrated with photographs. In the 1860s, it covered the upper Thames, but it expanded its range over several editions. He used a skiff on the Thames to transport his equipment and from which he took many of his photographs.
Taunt's photographs are reproduced in many books (e.g., see below) and form a useful historical record of social history and architecture.
