His father was a copperplate engraver and had introduced him to the technique of engraving copper, steel and wood, as well as making (clay) lithographs. In 1834 Gustav Täubert then took up studies at the art academy in Dresden. He then went into business for himself as an art publisher with his own shop, which he opened in Altmarkt 8 in Dresden. He joined the mountain association of Saxon Switzerland and actively promoted tourism in Dresden and the surrounding area, but also in other scenic areas of Germany such as the Harz and the Giant Mountains. For visitors to these regions he produced, among other things, attractively designed Leporellos or landscape views as souvenirs.
