A view of the south east side of Balliol. Figures can be seen on the streets on foot and on horseback. Joseph Skelton (1781 - 1850) was an English engraver of topographical and antiquarian subjects. He is best-known for his plates in 'Oxonia Antiqua Illustrata' (1823); 'Engraved Illustrations of Antiente Arms and Armour from the Collection at Goodrich Court from the Drawings, and with the Descriptions of Dr. Meyrick' (1830) (2 vols); and Girault's 'Les Beautes de la France' (1850). He settled in France in the latter part of his life and was elected FSA in 1844. His brother William Skelton was also an engraver. Frederick Mackenzie (1787-1854) was a watercolour painter and architectural draughtsman who made drawings for Ackermann's 'University of Oxford and Public Schools', and twenty-four of the Oxford Almanacks between 1821 and 1853. Condition: Time toning, creasing and foxing to margins, but an excellent impression with full margins. |
