Between 1911 and 1914 Jessie King and her husband, E. A. Taylor, lived and worked in Paris. During her time there Jessie made detailed sketches of some of her favourite Paris landmarks. She had hoped to make a book of them and indeed one or two were published in "Paris Past and Present", which was published by the Studio in 1915 and edited by E. A. Taylor.
