Taylor was a prolific artist who worked extensively for the British Railway companies, London Transport and the Empire Marketing Board. In all, he designed over 100 posters. His versatile style was often very detailed and largely focused on near-photographic rendering of architecture. He designed a similar poster-map for Cambridge, with a detailed, bird's-eye view, including all of the individual college crests.
