Published 200 years after the original, Taylor's Map of Kildare comes in six folded sheets bound as a fascicle. Taylor, a Scotsman who held the rank of captain in the Corps of Engineers, was employed on a military survey of Ireland from 1781 to 1805. He produced this intricate map in a private capacity. Taylor lived in Ireland for almost 50 years and is buried in Naas, Co. Kildare.
