Ernest Archibald Taylor (1874-1951) also known as E A Taylor - A potted history
E A Taylor was born in Greenock, Scotland, the fifteenth of seventeen children of an army major. After training as a draughtsman in the yards of the shipbuilders Scott and Co. Ltd, Taylor became a student of the Glasgow School of Art in the late 1890s. There he absorbed the influence of Fra Newbery and the already well-established 'Glasgow Four', before joining Wylie & Lochhead in 1900, and becoming a leading designer of furniture and stained glass in the Glasgow Style. In 1907 he became the head of furniture design with Wragge and Co.
A move to Paris three years later saw Taylor become the Paris correspondent of The Studio and second in command of Tudor Hart's 'Paris School of Drawing and Painting'. Before long, however, the couple established their own school, 'The Shealing Atelier', and also set up a popular summer sketching school on the Isle of Arran, which they continued to run until 1940.
