William Tayler (1808–1892), educated at Charterhouse, arrived in Bengal in 1829, where he served in various capacities for the East India Company. "A keen amateur dramatist and skilful caricaturist, but while his witty portraits of Anglo-Indian notables won him some influential friends in Calcutta, the light-hearted nature of his artistic pursuits earned for him a reputation as a somewhat flighty, unserious officer" (ODNB).
