About William Tayler
William Tayler was a British colonial administrator and artist who was employed by the East India Company in British India from 1829 until 1867. He became commissioner of Patna in 1855 and in 1857 was involved in the suppression of the 1857 Sepoy Mutiny. His measures against the local people were regarded as excessively harsh by his superiors, and he was suspended and given an appointment of lower rank.
