Notes A very scarce lithographic view of the city of Oxford from Hinksey Hill. The publisher, J. Plowman, was likely the son of John Plowman (1773-1843), the architect and draughtsman most famous for designing Oxford County Hall, as well as the rebuilding of both St Martins and St Michael's Church.

William Alfred Delamotte (1775-1863) was a British draughtsman on wood and water colourist. He entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1794 and trained under Benjamin West. Delamotte moved to Oxford where he did numerous works depicting the city. In 1803, Delamotte became the drawing master at the newly established Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst where he remained for 40 years. Delamotte was also known for publishing his own prints.
