Henry Taunt manuscript and printed works
Taunt’s written works
The Henry Taunt Collection at Oxfordshire History Centre, in addition to his photographic images, contains a range of his printed (published) and manuscript works.
Taunt wrote for pleasure and also for profit, passing on his enthusiasm and widening the market for his photographs.
He published over 50 titles, many of which ran to several editions, and he planned lots more which never got beyond typed or hand-written drafts. The river Thames, local history, architecture, customs, comets - all sorts of subjects interested him!
Access
Most of these works can be consulted at Oxfordshire History Centre, although some are only available via Special Collections staff at the Weston Library (part of the Bodleian Library) and may require a reader’s ticket to access them.
