Signature: "Bayard Taylor./1871.", 3¼x2 card. Bayard Taylor
(1825-1878), a poet, journalist, travel writer, illustrator, translator and
man of letters, attracted the attention of the "New York Tribune" after the
publication of his romantic verse, Ximena...And Other Poems (1844). The
"Tribune", which hired him as a correspondent, sent him to California in 1849 to
cover the gold rush. Taylor regaled readers with his tales from the West, and he
would later write and illustrate popular chronicles of his journeys at home
and abroad. One of his best travel works was The Lands of the Saracen;
or, Pictures of Palestine, Asia Minor, Sicily, and Spain (1855), and Taylor
also wrote novels (including Beauty and the Beast, Etc.) and translated
Goethe's Faust (1870-1871) as well as continuing to write poems, which
include Poems of the Orient (1854) and the verse drama Prince
Deukalion (1878). Also a non-resident Professor of German at Cornell
University, Taylor was named U.S. Minister to Germany in 1878. He died in Berlin
that year. Lightly foxed, touching signature. Paper remnants at lower left and
upper right corners, tape stain at lower left. Mounting paper remnants and
